Siskoid
A classic (and bloody) confrontation between Chinese rebels and demonized Japanese gangsters who have taken over a town. Not a great cast - all the men seemed to vain to have their 70s sideburns shaved - though the hero, who seems to meld the powers of several much more iconic martial arts heroes, does have a unique look and some attitude despite not being cut from the usual mold. It's really the female lead, the Robin Hoodesque character of Sister Die, who's the real attraction here. The lack of interesting fight choreography is the real shame here, though director Il-ho Jang makes up for it with visceral camera work and interesting transitions. But yeah, hard to make the title signature move look like anything but a cartoon haymaker... 8 years 10 months ago
