 The one you don't want to miss December 16, 2002
1 out of 3 found this review helpful
If you like Hong Kong movies, if you like cute guys, if you lilke fighting, and if you like feature movies. Then this is one you don't want to miss out. Not too much actions like some others, a little love story, exciting movies.
 could have been so much more December 7, 2002

Being a fan of Hong Kong cinema, I must admit I bought this dvd with a certain amount of trepidation. This is because it broke new territory - and I must admit the special effects are really impressive. However, the most serious flaw is that the movie never seemed to combine the special effects with the kung-fu action, which I was screaming for all the way through. What a wasted opportunity! There is too much boy meets girl type nonsense going on for my liking. Maybe if they had a Jet li or a Donnie Yen on board they could have done something with this, but I doubt it. Perhaps in a few years time they might get the combination just about right. Until then its The Story of Ricky for me!
 Utter crap November 17, 2002

Ugh. My friend bought this on dvd the other day at a used video store. Why did he buy it? I have no idea. I knew it was gonna be bad news. So anyways, after playing some video games we decided to pop it in and give it a shot. I will regret that moment forever.
This is probably one of the worst movies I have ever seen. I used to talk about how much crap there is in American cinema, but after watching a few Hong Kong movies, there'e quite a bit of crap there too. This movie was plain AWFUL. Glossed over special effects which were ridiculous and pointless, stupid fight scenes, idiotic camera tricks, and a plot that was made up by a 4-year old. Don't buy this. Don't watch it. Stop reading this review and find something better to do.

I liked this movie!
Although it was a gamble, it was a suprise of effects and decent fighting sequesnces. Although in general I am not a fan of over "special effecting" movies and particular Kung Fu. Plot was acceptable although might have been overwhelming at times. I would check it out. Youll either love it or hate it. No english dubbing on my version.
 Don't expect Tekken, just fun! April 25, 2002

Avenging Fist is the Tekken movie that was never allowed to be a Tekken movie. Namco said no to Andy Lau, so he went ahead and made one anyway.
The plotline is neither deep or flourishing, but just adequate for what the movie wants to achieve. This movie is trying to do 2 things, first to show Hollywood that Hong Kong can do excellent special effects, and provide some great action sequences. This it achieves very well, the effects at times seem to go too far, but then when has that ever stopped the gaming industry. The fights are great, although there is obvious use of wires, the action is more punching than kung fu.
Do not expect Tekken and you may well be suprised what Hong Kong can do. If you are not a fan of Hong Kong movies, and don't appreciate their cinema then this may not be the title for you.
