Review of Gallants (2010) by Mark C — 23 May 2011
Directors Clement Cheng and Derek Kwok combine forces to bring us this retro slice of old school kung fu. A staple set up (two local gangs fighting over a tea shop) is given a refreshing twist by making the majority of the sparring partners senior citizens â" as portrayed by a roster of Shaw Brothers legends.
The fond nostalgia for the period is clear to see, but Gallants never feels dated, instead itâ(TM)s a breath of fresh air to the current martial arts genre that celebrates the past whilst delivering a hip, funny adventure that introduces new fans to the old masters.
