Movie Reviews of The Leg Fighters

Movie Review: some may get a kick out of the last act
Summary: 2 Stars

Super kicking Korean sensation Dorian Tan Tao Ling ("Showdown at the Cotton Mill") plays righteous Northern Kung Fu master Tan Hai Chi. He is challenged by a man (Peng Kong) who refuses to admit defeat and tries to slice his way to victory. In self-defense, Tan kills the man. The man's cronies go back to tell the departed's brother (Peng Kong, again) that Tan killed his sibling.

Meanwhile, spoiled girl Phoenix (Ha Kwong Li, "Killer B's") ignores her kung fu master (Sun Jung Chi, the carnivorous monk from "Shaolin Vs Lama"), preferring to pal around with fellow student (Chin Lung) and get into trouble. When the master's wife becomes sick, the master asks Tan Hai Chi to teach her. She refuses his instruction and (with the help of Chin Lung) tries repeatedly to get rid of him. When nothing works, she runs away and immediately gets into trouble, which Tan Hai Chi bails her out of. She decides to accept him and trains hard. Peng Kong's goons eventually find her new master for the inevitable showdown.

Good production and decent story are marred by too many stupid and unnecessary characters coupled with fight choreography that is interesting and complex but, more often than not, far too slow. That being said, it's not awful, and it has a bit of an indescribable charm to it. I did enjoy watching it, but not enough to recommend. Peng Kong's ground fighting is impressive, and his fight with Sun Jung Chi is a lot of fun. Phoenix has some pretty flashy and flexible moves herself.

Tai Seng's Martial Arts Theater once again delivers a fullscreened DVD with an English dub and no subtitles. I'm fine with the dub, but I like having the option of original language. On the off-chance that I become a huge fan of the movie, I might want to see what I missed in the translation. Standard issue, I guess. 2.5/5
