Now not many martial arts films get 10/10 but this was something else. Only the second of his films I've seen but it's way better than the other (I forget what that one was). For this kind of film I fail to see what else they could have done to make it any better. Villains were developed beautifully so by the time they saw thier demise you'd really learned to hate them. Pretty typical in that aspect but everything was original. Superb choreogarphy (or however you spell it) and I particularly like the acupuncture.....you'll see!!

For what it is, I have seen no better film. This thriller is packed with action and excitement and will have you amazed regularly.

Oh yeah, and I'm going to have to watch it again because I didn't realise that Bert Kwouk was the old guy.....CATO!!! :-)

Kids get nightmares and some still do when they grow up. This was obvious at the start and that is about all the story amounts too except to ask the question "are there really monsters out to get you?" The strongest aspect of this film was it's ability to make you jump....didn't work so much for me but my wife was jumping and grabbing hold everytime there was a sudden surge of dramatic music or a sudden movement or scream. Go and see it if you like a fright but don't expect too much other excitement.

Stories are good, effects are great, I love the slightly over saturated colours (or is that just my old TV?) and great soundtrack all make this series feel totally unique. With Vic Reeves and Bob Mortimer in the main roles you'd expect lots of humour and to the credit of everyone involved this isn't so evident as you might expect. There is humour but it's much lower key as to what you'd normally expect from these two. I've just got the DVD and will be watching it alot.
