L'inferno nella mano

Also starring the Infamous Chen Sing, veteran kung fu action star of many 70's martial arts classics from Hong Kong. Most Definitely one of the BLOODIEST kung fu films of the genre. It most certainly lives up the the title. Alan Tang is a pretty boy (I hate that!) and the fight scenes aren't choreographed with the grace of say a Bruce Lee or Sonny Chiba film but have more of a raw anything goes street fight feel to them; as evidenced by the WIDE array of weapons used in this film as well as the standard hand to hand sequences. Very nice makeup effects!

There are only three reasons to watch this movie. First, you were fooled into thinking Jackie Chan was the star. Nope. That's him sliding across the floor on his belly in the restaurant fight. Hi Jackie, good-bye Jackie. The second reasons are Chan Sing and Mars. Feel free to fast forward through all the other boring stuff until you see either of them. The third reason is the Mystery Man of Thailand. He shows up about 45 minutes in during a fight. He sits down briefly and does an excellent job of defending himself while seated. Then he gets up, I assume, to stretch his legs a bit or possibly to kick some butt. He displays excellent real fighting skills. I can tell from his posture he's the real deal. The fight ends and he is introduced as (depending on the translation) the greatest undefeated fighter in world history. Nice to meet you and sorry I must be going. That was it. So who was he? What else did he do? Is he Tony Jaa's father? Even Google does not know the answer.
