Shao Lin xiao zi

No pun intended - and while there is a female in a bigger role in this, my summary line was not even remotely meant to "target" her. No this is about the weapons used in the movie. Which all clearly are not metal! And while you can't really tell maybe during the fights, you can tell when they just hold the "weapons". Yes the movie may look its best since it was released (or maybe even better than it did back then), but it also has the added "bonus" of showing us things like this.

That all aside, the fights are nice and are thrown every once in a while. This may have more story than most movies Joseph Kuo made. He still obviously likes to ... let's call it inspire himself by other movies and actors. But that's ok, when the end result works like a charme ... or something close to it.
