Description:
Taiwan reefer insanity if you will, orchestrated with the pitch perfect knowledge of how to produce energetic, laughable thrash. Laughable being the highest praise to this thoroughly fun Polly Kuan car directed by the editor of her breakthrough film, Dragon Inn. A basic duration plot at heart arises little interest but instead, Chan Hung-Man understand where to push for triumph. To start, they handle to maintain energy and pace as they wade through the numerous highlight creations. View the guys of the Devil’s Gang try and take on Polly’s male character, whether it is the midget siblings in their rolling tiger, boulders assassins, elephant assassins, lion assassins and even octopuses performing in the exact same capacity! It’s a wonderful smorgasbord where added noises in post to the different animal attackers are as dumb as they’re entertaining. Whenever capping it off with Polly and fellow cast users (including her annoying pupils) looking extremely ashamed when fighting the octopus prop that could’ve come straight from Ed Wood’s Bride of The Monster, the moviemakers may have their poorest looking impact but their best tips, especially when they begin shooting child octopuses at Polly! Men behind masks and Lo Lieh in the cast list indicators a surprise to the end but as with the other real kung-fu action, Little Hero does less well when being standard.

I’ve been looking for a copy of this for nearly twenty years– long story. But it’s just as lazy, cheap and tasteless as you’d expect a 1978 no-budget kung fu movie aimed at children to be.
The print is decent, though heavily cropped and dubbed in English. Polly Kuan acts serious. Everyone else is horribly embarrassed. Incredible.
