But... I actually liked it a little bit more than I thought I would, a tiny little bit more. At least it was better than Midnite Angels 3.

OK.. What I don't get is the rating on here is as good as "King Boxer" and Bruce Lee's "The Chinese Connection"... Really? Its also rated better than "The Five Venoms", "The Way of the Dragon" and "The Magnificent Ruffians".

Maybe that's not fair because these are not female lead role movies. Well then... This has a higher rating than "The Lady Hermit", "Wing Chun" and "Moonlight Sword and Jade Lion". I would rather watch "Lady Whirlwind" any day of the week before this. If you want to see good female fu, then watch "No One Can Touch Her"...

I made it through all of the movie. I give it 3 stars at best. Although I don't I would have any reason to ever watch it again.

From the get-go, opening with a gang of 5 or 6 masked men riding a forklift truck to a robbery before getting chased by a Jackie Chan-esque cop on a bicycle - who then goes on to win a bike race that just happens to be going on in the area; you know what kind of film you are in for!

Of course, that is quickly followed by the introduction of our lead girl who, after challenging some men in a drinking game, takes part in an wonderfully choreographed bar fight before facing off against the awesome Yukari Oshima...

And this is only the first 10 minutes!!

But what else would you expect with director (Kevin) Chu Yen Ping at the helm? The same guy who brought you the insane Fantasy Mission Force, the crazy Shaolin Popeye movies, Island Of Fire, and in recent years the likes of Kung Fu Dunk, and Treasure Hunter. In fact, his filmography is just ridiculous with some crazy films as well as some crackers, but either way, I have to say that I am a fan.

A Book Of Heroes reminds me of one of my childhood favourites - Lucky Seven. The fights are incredibly similar making me think some of the same choreographers and stunt team were on board - and that's a great thing. The fighting is fast and furious, with some incredible moves and some painful looking stunt work. And there is plenty of it too! I also noticed a number of actors from Lucky Seven also including one of the female leads, and the wonderful Eugene Thomas - also a regular in super ninja Alexander Lou's films!

A few faces from Fantasy Mission Force as well as other Kevin Chu films also pop up throughout, all in all making for a fun who's-who of Taiwanese martial arts cinema... The super cute child actor, Siu Ban Ban (from Magic Crystal) gets a few fun moments, and the awesome Yasuaki Kurata gets to kick some ass as the bad guy! And I'm not 100%, but his house looks like the same set as the Gentleman's Club from Project A (with the double staircase and chandelier)...

Of course, the story and script is so OTT and crazy that you must remember to switch your brain off before settling down to this one. A Book Of Heroes is a lot of fun - just mental at times, but with some of the best martial arts fights and stunts committed to screen, and a great cast to support it!

The end battle is so well done and one of my favourite fight scenes - think the Lucky Stars movies on crack. I don't think I could ever get bored of it to be honest..!!

Overall: Crazy fun with awesome fight scenes and mad stunts makes this a must for fans that miss the golden years of Hong Kong cinema!!

I saw this movie when I was child..I hate it that time after 30 years I saw it again and I hate it as well😂😂😂😂 Worse movie ever

I don't know why it took me so long to discover this film, but I'm glad I finally did. "Book of Heroes" is a must-see for anyone who likes women doing martial arts. And we're talking three women here, all of whom are working at cross-purposes (or so it appears at first): Yukari Oshima (the most recognizable name, but the one with the least screen time) is a henchwoman working for gangster boss Yasuaki Kurata; another woman (whose name I wish I knew) wants to become a policewoman, so she goes around beating bad guys and even arresting them!; and my personal favorite, Elsa Yeung, is a con artist who loves mocking her opponents while she's kicking their a$$es; her cute, girlish smile and her beautiful, deadly legs make her the sexiest of the trio (she often fights in a skirt). The script is weak and the goofy slapstick comedy is a matter of taste (it's often funny in this one), but the fight scenes and the hard-hitting stuntwork are arguably even better than those of, say, "Police Assassins" with Michelle Yeoh and Cynthia Rothrock. Track this film down. *** out of 4.

This is one of the greatest Hong Kong films ever. Three totally kick ass females destroy their male opposition in countless fights. This one has a great story, great humor, and great looking femme fatales. What else do you want from a movie?
