Review of Shaolin Rescuers (1979) by Steve W — 29 Dec 2010
Another solid effort from Chang Cheh and his venoms. The description above is a little off... this one is pretty light-hearted before the final fight. The leads are friends and always enjoy testing each other and goofing off.
This is done in classic, yet cheesy, ways for Hong Kong films, and you have to have likable actors for that to work. There is a whole group of distinctive villains that are far from intimidating, except of course for the always amazing Lu Feng.
