First Form.......2006-06-15

This is the first form taught at the headquarters and great for stance training and developing basic punches and kicks. The instructions are easy to follow and taught pretty much the same as if you were in the class in person.

Another Meltdown

ASIN: B00005NVHM
Release Date: 2001-10-16

Amazon.com

Vincent Zhao is the martial arts dynamo who runs the gauntlet to snatch a boy from a well-guarded mobster and get him to a grade school full of hostages held by angry former marine Anthony Wong (Hard Boiled). It makes for near nonstop action à la Walter Hill's The Warriors, from furious car chases with the cops to elaborate fights with gangster thugs to impossibly complicated traps sprung all over the city. The film unfortunately lacks the stylistic outrageousness and melodramatic excess that made the Hong Kong New Wave so wild, and stolid Zhao has neither the chops nor the charisma of Jackie Chan or Jet Li. Wong carries the film as a devastated stepdad abandoned by his country and let down by an indifferent bureaucracy. The rest is merely a zippy run through a flimsy plot full of absurd twists and painful humor. --Sean Axmaker

Another Could've Been Great for Cheuk........2002-01-17

Along with Chiu Man Cheuk's Body Weapon film, Fist Power could've been great. Chiu is a very talented fighter and practices the same Wu Shu as Jet Li, he's been known as the heir to Jet as well. He took over Jet's duties as Wong Fei Hung in OUATIC IV & V and did a pretty decent job, and he even fought against Jet in Fong Sai Yuk which was pretty awesome. However, he has a few so-so flicks of his own. Fist Power is about an ex military official (Anthony Wong) who holds an elementary school hostage because he wants to see his son(not biological, but raised him), who is being flown to America by the mother and her mobbish husband(biological father of boy). Cheuk is a professional security trainer who has a nephew that is at the same school. Wong and Cheuk know each other prior to this, and Cheuk decides to bring back Wong's son before he will supposedly blow up the school. The rest of the film is Cheuk fighting off bodyguards and other baddies sent by the mobbish husband to prevent the boy from seeing the father. This could've been a great film, there were plenty of fights, some decent humor, and a really pretty girl. The problem? The camera shooting and choreography. It's god awful, you can't even see whats going on. For example, Cheuk would start an awesome kick and just before it hits his opponent, the camera would black out (flash out) and then you'd would see the opponent fly back as if he was hit without showing the hit. There is a lot of no contact showing in this film and thats too bad because Cheuk shows off some of his best stuff I've ever seen or almost saw. Theres one fight in the dark where he just lights a lighter for a little view of the several guards in the area, and he takes them all out, but all you can see is a little kick or punch here and there. The camera work is just pitiful, all of Cheuk's best moves would just be cut off showing no contact as if the director wanted this to be a PG movie or something. I suggest a viewing before even thinking about buying this. Who knows, maybe you'll like the camera work. All I know is that it frustrated me and 2 stars is the best I would give it. For better Chiu Man Cheuk flicks, check out Fong Sai Yuk along side with Jet and OUATIC 4 & 5. Hope this was helpful, check out my other reviews too, mostly HK flicks.
