Fun little gem from the late 80's
After watching Hong Kong Godfather (another offering from director Lung Wei Wang), i was eager to watch another film from him and i decided to pick up City Warriors and give it a watch.
It wasn't exactly the film that i expected, but it was a fun ride, the action scenes are totally awesome (the first action scene is already one of my favorites), the stunts are spectacular (and dangerous looking) and the vehicular stunts are top notch. There is more gunplay than martial arts, but the action still manages to keep your eyes glued to the screen. The violence isn't gory as Hong Kong Godfather, but some of the violence is hard hitting enough to shock (or even offend) some of the audience.
If you don't expect a masterpiece, City Warriors manages to be an entertaining and fun movie.
