If you are tired
of watching those extended gun fights and exploding smoke….here is something
for a change…..
Forget those Chinese
martial art movies of 80s, set in rural background, with martial artists
fighting in some style inspired by monkey, snake, tiger or something else…..those
were good movies, but here is the movie, that takes the Chinese martial art
movies to a different level….
Everyone, who have
seen good number of movies, knows about Sammo Hung. He is no unknown name. From
an American TV series to acting parallel to Jackie Chan in his movies, Sammo in
undeniably a big name in Hong Kong and Chinese movies…..not only a good actor and
a fight choreographer, Sammo is also a very good director….
‘Sha Po Lang’ is about a cop, who joins an already
existing group of cops, in Hong Kong, who are fighting their battle against the
villain, Wong Po, played by Sammo himself.
 |
| Sammo and Donnie - The Villain and the Cop. Both are equally impressive. |
Donnie yen, wonderfully
plays the quiet type cop, who tries to fit in the group…..while he has no major
role in first half of the movie, right after the half time, the entire movie
becomes his, and Sammo’s.

| last action scene. Simple police baton, turned into a deadly weapon against knife...must see. |
Action scenes are
bloody, messy, and not for a faint of heart. But if you can deal with lot of
blood on the screen, you can definitely admire the fresh choreography of action
scenes. Perfect fight timing between Donnie Yen and Wu Jing in the end action
sequence are worth. Wu Jing leaves a mark, which is an achievement considering
presence of Yen and Sammo….Fighting only with a police baton, Donnie Yen, is
one of the many reasons to see this movie.
A squeal of this movie is already released, and is also good. but for some reason, this movie, has something that makes you remember this one for a long time, and will be your one of all time favs. surely.
