4.0 out of 5 stars THE YUEN CLAN!, May 8, 2000

By

This review is from: Dreadnaught [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Early 1980's movie by the Yuen clan,with Woo Ping directing.This movie starts out with a notorious criminal named White Tiger(played by Yuen Hsin Yee) and his wife being attacked by the police.White Tiger is already a little crazy but when his wife is killed,he escapes seeming to be almost completely insane.He gets help from an old business partner(played by Phillip Kao) who runs an opera troupe,and allows White Tiger to hide out in the troupe.In the same town lives a washer boy named Mousey(Yuen Biao) who is a coward.His sister teaches him Eagle Claw kung fu but he doesn't know it.He is actually training while washing clothes.He's scared of almost everyone and everything.After being attacked by White Tiger(who paints his face up in opera make up) in an alley for ringing a small bell(which makes White Tiger go a bit crazy because his wife was wearing a similar bell when she died)which he considers his lucky charm,Mousey's best and only friend Leung Foo(Leung Kar Yan) decides to ask Wong Fei Hung(Kwan Tak Hing)if he will teach Mousey kung fu.The police are still looking for White Tiger and ask master Wong for help.While Leung is looking in the opera house he is attacked and killed by White Tiger,who has decided to help Phillip Kao kill master Wong.Mousey, finding that his best friend has been killed by the crazed opera killer,finally gains the nerve to face White Tiger.When Mousey basically falls into the criminal's trap,master Wong saves him but is hurt by a dart and can't fight.So Mousey takes over and fights White Tiger,rubbing his skin away and literally beating him to death.He utilizes the washer techniques he learned from his sister and does a lot of damage to White Tiger.Yeun Cheung Yan has a small role as one of the police officers.I didn't see Yuen Chun Yeung or Yuen Yat Chor anywhere,but I believe they helped with the choreography.Speaking of choreography,it is great as usual,with Yuen Hsin Yee taking(and giving) some hard blows.Overall it's a great movie not to be missed.

This review is from: Dreadnaught [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Yuen Biao is a young wash boy who gets himself caught up in a duranged mans path. After losing his wife a man called White Tiger snaps, losing all control and reason. He soon pics up the persona of the Paint faced killer. After countless murders he finds him self face to face with the young boy. Can the boy get out alive? Amazing fight sequences, over all one of the best ive seen, along with having one of the best casts of stars Yuen Biao, Phillip Kao, Luen Kar Lang, just to name a few.

If you don't see this one you havn't seen anything at all. Believe me!
