Non Stop Action.......2006-09-03

This is a keeper, a lot of good fights. I gave it four stars and not five because I thought the last fight scene was to short. Good action through out the movie.

The Green Jade Statuette - "Non-Stop Fighting Scenes!!!!".......2006-02-23

This flick is no joke! When I first got this one off of Amazon.com, I wasn't particularly enthusiastic about the title. But let me tell you the title will straight up throw you off. Don't let this one slip by you. The acting is a bit cheezy, but it's easy to live with. Also whoever ran the cameras had some of the actors bodies chopped out of the scenes. For example, you will hear people talking but you won't see who's talking. This takes place in several scenes. Kind of distracting, but it doesn't take nothing away from this action-packed flick!

This one starts out with a vicious fighting scene. A family was viciously murdered and had their precious Green Jade Statuette (The Jade Monk) stolen by three ruthless thieves (The Three Tigers). Unknowingly to these killers, a daughter hid in the the closet quietly and watched her family being killed execution style by these three bandits who vowed they would meet in exactly one year in Stone Village to sell the statuette and split the proceeds among them. After overhearing this, the daughter hired a professional killer (Chin Chang) to retrieve her family's precious statuette. and to wipe out The Three Tigers. I call him the man in white, because he always wore white throughout the picture. This killer is awesome. He carries this very short brass pole/stick around that has a blade in the center of it. I have never seen anyone use or swirl a weapon like this before. Anway, anyone who comes up against him is at his mercy with this weapon. He even stated on one occasion that if anyone opposes him they will get one result, "and that's death!"

Although the daughter wanted her family's precious Green Jade Statuette back, the real motive for hiring Chin Chang was to take revenge on the Three Tigers who wrecked her household. She poses as a prostitute in a brothel in Stone Village waiting for the moment to seek her revenge. Chin Chang never knew that she was the one who hired him until near the end of the movie. Also, the madam (Pearl Lee) of the brothel, who is the younger sister of the eldest of The Three Tigers, knew about the statuette. Chin Chang believed that if he located Pearl he would also locate the statuette. How? You will have to watch the movie for that answer! Before long, you have other characters looking for this same statuette as well - such as Pearl's boyfriend (Wu Kang)- who is an excellent fighter, who soon discovers that his lying girlfriend is in fact related to one of the Three Tigers.

I just gave a small overview without giving too much away. There's much more to this action flick than what's stated here. Judge for yourself.

This flick is filled with great fighting scenes and the plot carries throughout. This kept to the plot and this is what I particularly liked about this one. The cheezy acting and the voice overdubs are something to be desired though. If you can get past these two negatives you have a great 4-star flick. In this one, you don't know who to trust and that what keeps your interest. People are not who they apear to be. Hey, if you got to grab that snack, make sure you press the pause button or you'll miss something.
