Oh boy where do I start. How about this, don't watch this movie cuz it's boring. That about sums it all up. This guy is now the best fighter in the province. His girlfriend thinks he should stop fighting before he gets into trouble. The girl's cousin comes to visit her and the guy gets all jealous. The guy's master picks a fight the the cousin and his friend and is accidentally killed. I didn't care, the master was dink. So this begins the guy's descent into madness as he tracks down the killers. In the end he squares off against the local lawmen and it's his girlfriend who brings him to his senses, with a gun!
The synopsis on the back of the case builds the movie up to be something that sounds watchable. Here's a couple paragraphs off the case; "The Angry Fist truly describes the violence and explicit fight seqeunces which combine to make this epic." and "Please note that this film is not to be seen by anyone who is of a squeamish dispostion." What a load! What a work of fiction, when I read the word "epic" I was thinking "What an epic waste of my time?!" The so-called fight sequences are average and not at all exciting. Just a bunch of flailing around. They tried to make things exciting by having one fight on top of 9 foot poles and another on a moving horse cart. They tried, but it didn't work. I'd never thought I'd say this but the fights run too long. When the fight is old school style of flailing arms, you don't want too much, we end up seeing the same moves at least a couple times during a single fight. The story is somewhat decent and good have been better and the "acting", I won't even bother. Without comedy involving bodily functions, over-the-top villians, crazy kung fu styles, and wacky sidekicks this is a movie that just can't hold my attention.
