A Book of Heroes

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.

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

Hey, this film is directed by Chu Yen-Ping and presented by Cinema City Films. You know what that means. You're in for a lame comedy that's more trying than funny, but is still incredibly entertaining and has a catchy theme song. A Book of Heroes is no exception. It may have a clever joke on occasion, but overall isn't generally funny. Most actors do a good job, but Woo Gwa and Laam Sam-Mei have standout performances.

Though the comedy doesn't amaze, the fight scenes do. Woo Gwa and Laam Sam-Mei are great and definitely had potential. It's a shame their film careers were relatively short. There's also Japanese actors Kurata Yasuaki and Yukari Oshima (in her film debut) who are quite impressive, but not as impressive as their future contributions to cinema. If only the writing was as good as the fight scenes. Also I heard that one of the main reasons why people like this movie is because of it's pretty female leads who beat people up, but if that's all you want, then Inspector Wears Skirts is more for you.

This movie is strange, but it's not "Chu Yen-Ping" strange. There aren't any Chinese Scotsmen or kung fu bowling, like what you may see in his other movies. It's just a silly movie. This movie is a hidden gem in Hong Kong cinema, but it is a dirt-covered gem. Like most-all Chu Yen- Ping films, the comedy is lame and the action is terrific, but my rating will easily rise once I watch a half decent print of this film. With that said, the movie is still entertaining and a movie to watch if you have nothing else to do. By the way, if you can't stand jump-cuts, this film is not for you.

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?

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.
