Unique fighting scenes

Rating: 10/10 (22 November 2008)

The plot of this movie is very similar with some of the 80's American martial arts movies like Karate Kid or No Retreat, No Surrender. This movie has all those annoying things like martial arts trainer who always repeats to his students that they shouldn't fight (then why the hell do they study martial arts?), parents always moralizing that fighting is not an answer (or something like that) and of course the bad guy, who is always stubborn and rude with everybody, but becomes very friendly after getting his but kicked. But the plot is not important in this kind of films. What is important is fighting scenes, and there was a lot of unique fighting scenes. It wasn't those kind of fights which you could see in Jackie Chan's movies, but it was very realistic and impressive in it's own way. The sound effects, choreography and direction made boring wrestling techniques look impressive. I'm glad that someone is still making films of this kind and putting some modern ideas in it.
