AKA Kickboxer.

drunkenmaster from , 31st August, 2006

I rented this under the title of "Once Upon A China 6", but the title on the actual film was "Once Upon A Chinese Hero." On the disc itself was the title "Kickboxer," which was the original title of this 1993 kung fu action movie.

Yuen Biao stars and action choreographed this fine effort. He plays a wannabe student of Wong Fei Hung, who after being framed for opium smuggling decides to clean up the town and expose the real dealers. Directed by Wu Ma and featuring Yuen Wah as the chief bad guy, this is a pleasure from start to finish. Some nice fights along the way with a minimum of wire work, the highlight for me has to be the two Yuens facing off again. (I believe it was for the last time.) This almost matched the end fight they had in "The Iceman Cometh".
