Movie Reviews of The Boxer's Omen
Movie Review: Should have stayed lost in the Shaw Bros. vault
Summary: 1 Stars
It pains me to ever give a Shaw Brothers film such a negative review but 1 star was all I could muster... even after reading all the other well-written reviews stating why I should be giving it at least 4. This one truly suprised me. It contains martial arts, horror, gore, and the always enjoyable Lung Wei Wang (THE Master Of The Flying Guillotine himself) and Bolo Yeung (needs no clarification!)... so what went wrong? Probably the fact that everything I mentioned above is so poorly done or underutilized that your left with a mess of a movie and a look of dissapointment (or disbelief) on your face. You get a little fighting here and a little horror there but mostly you get really bad set pieces and special effects that make most of the generic Italian exploitation films from the same era look like documentaries! I don't know though? Maybe I was expecting too much (or maybe I should have been drunk) because I seem to be the only reviewer who didn't enjoy this? If you are looking for action, genuine chills, or even a movie to gross you out then this isn't the one... if you want something to watch with alcohol and friends this may be worth some laughs but even those won't last very long (try Bolo or Fearless Fighters instead for more enjoyment and near endless chuckles in those scenarios).
