Movie Reviews of Unbeaten 28
Movie Review: 3.5, but a fun fun movie so I had to keep in line with the other reviewers
Summary: 4 Stars
First off, mang fei plays the hero. How many great movies has he been the star of? Prodigal Boxer is all I can thnk of but this beat the sheeit out of that.
Pictrue is full screened which wasn't too dissapointing. Sound quality is pretty loud but very muffled, and picture quality is just fine for old school fans.
So the movie starts off witht the best fight of the movie. I like the final one better, but this was true action. I will further elaborate on the ending. So we see that mark long(the bad guy in this) was taught early on with jack long and mang fei's father in kung fu and then took his skillz and went elsewhere. So his own school that mark long(ghostface killer) sets up is kind of like a gang of course and he needs to be stopped. The great Jack Long is giving the task of making this little kid the most unstoppable fighter ever. You have to love a joseph kuo production, no half-assin it around here. I mean he gives you his blood sweat and tears for these movies, truly. The little kids training scenes are some of my favorite parts of this movie. So meng fei starts training at a VERY young age and eventually becomes a bit of a spoiled little brat, btu we forgive him because he has conversated with like 2 people hsi entire life(20 years). So Jack logn tells him to go to a school and get the secret kung fu manual. What meng fie does next is a Kuo original, he fights all sorts fo weird stone men including ones who are really cool actually walking and fighting stone men. I was overly impressed by all of this. So once he gets by all of them he has to find fight this little kid. And one of the greatest lines of the movie is when they talk about how the little kid is 80 years old. Well he looks liek 40 so it isn't as far off as some movies would go. Now this "kid" pulls out some of the craziest styles I have ever seen and performs them very well.
After he gets the book we get a VERY emotialnal moment and i gotta give kuo big ups on that. SO mang fei with his invincible body that can beat down stone warriors at will goes to fight mark long. And ghostface killer comes at him hard. I have to be honest, if the finale was literally ANYONE else than mark long, this movie would have gotten a 4 stars. He is so beaituful to watch, trained and recruited by Kuo straight frmo the taiwanese opera, him and his brother help round out the list of the GREATEST stars that kung fu has ever seen. And teh skillful and way hot Jeannie cheng is in this as jack long's daughter and we also get to see her in action in the final fight. So the finale is better than it should be and the ending is oh so weird. And there is a part early in the movie with a frog that got the wtf award for sure, but they do actually try to explain this in an incredibely weird ending.
Have fun watching this, don't expect 7 grandmasters. They rob you of a good mark, jack long fight, but you do get one, better than nothing, right?
