Distinctly underwhelming
CRACK SHADOW BOXERS is an example of the kind of work that Shaw Brothers star Ku Feng did when he was moonlighting outside of his better-known studio fare. Here he's playing one of a couple of good guy beggars who travel the villages peddling their cheap medicine and performing kung fu. Soon enough they meet up with a gang of bandits and the story goes from there. While this film does feature a wealth of fight action, much of it is unremarkable, passable at best. There's a predominance of goofy humour of the lame slapstick variety, and even Feng himself indulges in this. A few familiar faces in the cast don't add up to a distinctly underwhelming experience.
