like most people and i be draw to buy this film because of the picture of the mighty bolo yeung plaster all over the box and and the assumption ( from the aforementioned picture and the title of the film ) that this film be all about the beast from the east kickin as for 90 minute . however and to my disappointment and chinese hercules be to bolo yeung what no retreat no surrender be to jean claude van damme and fearless tiger be to . erm and bolo yeung maximum exposure on video box and minimum actual screen time . oh well . the storyline be pretty basic stuff and but it be well do peaceful kung fu fighter ( play by chen hui min ) accidentally kill a man and promise never to fight again . he then run away to work a a labourer on a pier where he impress his co worker with his heavy sack lift prowess and cause them to suspect him to be a formidable fighter ( dont quite know how that work but never mind ) . meanwhile and the corrupt bos of the pier do a deal with gangster and give them exclusive use of the pier . a a result and the worker be throw out on their ear and force to live on the beach and where they unite against their bos and the gangster bos and and his hulk henchman bolo yeung . while the film be quite watchable ( mainly through wait for the next glimpse of bolo ) and i have a few problem with it firstly and the bad dubbing and but of course thats a give in old kung fu film . but also and the film tend to drag between the various fight scene . and a for the fight scenes themselves and i find them to be over long and badly choreograph ( apparently by jackie chan . ) and badly shot and at time perform by people who do not seem to have any martial art ability . in fact and most of the fight in this film weren not fight at all and just people get beat up without offer any resistance . finally and the hero play by chen hui min . i have never see any other film with this guy in and but at no point be i root for him . not only do he look wimpy and on the verge of tear at all time and but i find his insistence on not fight infuriate . i understand his reasoning and but he could have save a lot of people a lot of pain if he have do earlier what we all know he be gon na do eventually and and fight . a big mystery be why this entire community of people be pin their hope on a guy they have never even see fight . really and the big saving grace in this film be the presence of bolo yeung . not only be he a huge and brutal a ever and he have some great and funny line and give the rest of the cast a master class on how to fight on film . the guy ooze screen presence and you can easily see how he become a star . the guy scar the life out of me and but i be sure i wasn not the only person to have watch this film who be root for bolo all through the end fight . all in all then and a below average kung fu film lift several huge notch due to you know who . i have never meet a person who do not think bolo yeung be great . the man a legend .
