The Postman Strikes Back (1982). 1h 30m | R

“Kung fu wise, this movie doesnu0026#39;t offer a great deal. There is very little fighting in it, and the quality of it isnu0026#39;t great. Eddy Ko (the bad guy) is good (in terms of acting), and there are a couple of pretty girls, too, but ultimately the movie is quite dull. Chow Yun Fat has a couple of fight scenes, but his moves are unconvincing – one understands why he subsequently stuck mostly to gangster movies.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe main character, capable Ka-Yan Leung, hardly does any fighting, which is a great disappointment. The story has him as a traveling postman, whou0026#39;s delivering an important but fateful set of boxes to an evil lord. The result is tragic, and the u0026quot;herou0026quot; doesnu0026#39;t do anything about it until he finally gets angry and takes out the bad guy. But the story is unsatisfying, doesnu0026#39;t have much entertainment value, and is generally rather dull.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003e5 out of 10.”
