Decent martial arts flick........2007-03-22

Kickboxer's Tears offers a number of good fight scenes with many opportunities for talented women to display their martial arts prowess, which is really the only reason to watch it- don't expect too much from the story. The fights are quite well done, and it would have earned 4 or 5 stars instead of 3 if it wasn't for the full screen format, which cuts off a lot of the action- this is a movie that needs to be seen in wide screen format to be fully appreciated. Also, the Tai Seng release is English dubbed with no option for subtitles; the dubbing isn't too bad, but it still would have been better with subtitles. Hopefully the studio will offer a future release that corrects these deficiencies. I'd be willing to pick up a new copy if they did.

3.5, but Moon Lee is just too good to only give it a 3.......2006-05-25

MOON LEE IS AWESOME!!!! She only has a few fights but look out for the scene where she busts into a restaurant and fights with Billy Chow. They go at it hard. Chow doesn't hold anything back and this guy can go. It is a cheesy story that is a ripoff of the Van Damme movie 'Kickboxer'. Buy it for the fights. I actually liked this movie more than 'Kickboxer'.

Ken Lo in the first fight of the movie. Him and Billy Chow look to be doing some loose sparring but they did a good job of making it a feel like a real kickboxing match. It is not like in an American movie where the round ends in less than a minute or only when it is crucial to the plot. This fight goes on for a while with like 5 minute rounds.

Yukari Oshima also shows up. The end of the movie was dissapointing but it was still a fun movie with good choreography.

Picture quality from Tai Seng is full screened but pictrue isn't too bad. It is a very cheap release so not too risky of a buy.

TV screen saver.......2002-04-06

Moon Lee is THE ONLY saving grace this film has.She does good acting,has good fighting skills-but against poor filming,and cardboard characters-it doesn't hold water.
Despite the film dates, it seems like an early seventies film and not a good one.
If you're looking for HK femme fatale fighting-Heroic Trio,Executioners,Wing Chun,or even Zero Woman (Japanese-but fits the genre).
"I must avenge my brothers death"-hmmm,never heard that line before....

Low budget but good fights.......2001-07-14

No one is going to confuse this film with Titanic in terms of budget expences, but it does have another duel between Moon Lee and my personal favorite, Yukari Oshima. Essentially a revenge story, it boils down to a final confrontation between a crime boss and Moon Lee and friends, kicked off (no pun intended) between a brief but brutal fight between Moon Lee and Yukari Oshima. And unlike a lot of other female Hong Kong stars, Yukari Oshima is not a former dancer who translated her physical skills into on screen martial arts. Her martial arts skills come from real martial arts (Goju Ryu karate) which she started studying when she was 14. And while the skills of such greats as Michelle Yeoh, Moon Lee, and more recently Zhang Ziyi are impressive, you can see the difference of having had actual martial arts training when Oshima lets loose. She generates a combative force that just jumps out of the screen and even though she can't weigh more than 110 lbs soaking wet, theres no mistaking that she's a real fighter. Her fight scenes are always a pleasure to watch, not to mention a little scary (if you're skeptical, watch what she does to Richard Norton with a samurai sword in Millionaires Express, and see if you don't feel a little traumatized). If there was ever an elimination match between all of the women of H.K. cinema, I'd bet money that Yukari Oshima would be the last one standing, with the possible exception of Cynthia Rothrock. See Yukari Oshima in Midnight Angel and Top Fighters II as well.

Great action flick but only tolerable dubbing and image..........2000-10-31

I really liked this film as Moon Lee shows some great fighting action throughout the movie. When she stretches during one training scene, you gotta pay attention. The bad part of this dvd is that the master used was already in bad shape. It really just looks like an old vhs copy that's been degrading over the years. And the dubbing...as usual, is quite bad. Can't anyone ever make a decent voice dub over?
