More Kung Fu stuff, but this time rather nicely done, with a storyline that actually had me hooked for a change. Still pretty daft though, but that doesn't mean anything when it comes to films.
This one has three guys who are captured and put into slavery, mining gold for the 'marshall'- whoever that is. One of our trio has a wife in labour, so he regularly tries to escape, prompting much kung fu and beatings.
Basically, the film is a series of escape attempts, fights with guards, people begging for mercy for other prisoners, and cave-ins at the mine. Now, don't take this the wrong way, this is still a good film. It just follows the path of rebellion against guards - kung fu fight - prisoners get captured again - someone begs for mercy - start again. I swear by the end you'll be wondering who's going to make it to the end.
The kung fu is pretty good too, with the battle between the main baddie and our hero being pretty wild. If you can overlook the sloppy editing (disappearing beards!) then this one is a decent cheap buy.
