Review of Eastern Condors (1987) by Steve W — 12 Jul 2013
Dung fong tuk ying (Eastern Condors) co-directed as well as co-starring Sammo Hung and Biao Yeun. The film also starrs Dr. Hang S. Nigor (Academy Award winner for The Killing Fields) and Joyce Godenz (real-life wife of Sammo Hung).
Set in Vietnam War in 1976 Ming (Sammo Hung) a Chinese commando led by colonel and his team group up with guerrilla fighters (mostly female) to destroy lethal weapons left behind by the US after the fall of Saigon. The weapons are currently under guard of Vietcong General. The group seeks help of local man (Yuen Biao no name mentioned in the film) with his three-wheel scooter and he deals in black market.
Gala treat of slow-motion fight-sequences, with extraordinary tricky and locking clutches, kicks, jumps, head-lock, neck-lock, sharp knife use by both Sammo and Biao are enough to entertain huge fans like me. Movie deserves praise for quick pace, ultimately trying to reach to the point. Sammo Hung and Yuen Biao succeeded in applying maximum hilarious scenes and comedic expressions from fellow characters.
