Hahou Mo is a martial arts expert and police self-defense instructor, who is incarcerated for involuntary manslaughter during a fight with an opponent. Three years later, Fung Yu-Sau is a martial artist who challenges retired martial arts master Mak Wing-Yan in a fight and soon kills him. Hahou learns about Wing-Yan's death and tells Inspector Luk Yuen-Sum that he offers to aid her in capturing the killer with his martial arts skills in exchange for his freedom. After agreeing his terms, Luk temporarily releases Hahou.
Hahou and Luk deduces that another two masters Tam King-yiu and Wong-Chit will killed by Yu-Sau, which is proven correct. After reuniting with his wife Sinn Ying, Hahou, along with Luk soon learns about Yu-sau's identity. They also finds that Yu-Sau is actually obsessed of defeating great martial artists in order to become a martial arts master and also forget his wife's death. Thinking that Yu-sau's next target is Chan Pak-Kwong, Hahou, Luk and his team spies on Pak-Kwong at his restaurant, but later finds that Yu-sau's target is actually Pak-Kwong's student and actor Hung Yip.
Hahou, Sinn, Luk and his team learns about Yu-sau's location and waits for him to arrive. It is revealed that Yu-sau's target is actually Sinn where Hahou prevents him from killing Sinn. Yu-sau escapes again, but Hahou tracks him at the highway and the two intensively battle each other. After the fight, Yu-sau gets shot by Luk while Hahou is taken to the hospital. In the aftermath, Hahou gets permanently released from prison, where he is later appointed again as the police self-defense instructor and also forms his own martial arts school.
Was it difficult to involve all those people from the Hong Kong kung fu movie industry?
They knew why I asked them to come. And they all wanted to pay their respects to people who work behind the scenes and came without asking how much they would get paid. I appreciate all that they did because it was from the heart.
Which title to you like more: Kung Fu Killer or Kung Fu Jungle? I think the original title sounds cool like an old women in prison movie.
The distributor thought Kung Fu Jungle was not powerful enough. Actually, I like Kung Fu Killer.
Look up locations and times of Kung Fu Killer screenings at wellgousa.com, find another tidbit I wrote about the movie at the626.com, and seeya at an Atlantic Times Square screening sooner than later.
As someone who grew up as a competitive fighter, and spent the majority of her teenage years with fellow martial artists traveling from one tournament to another on a bus with a small black-and-white TV which screened every martial arts movie ever made on a 24-hour loop, I am certain about one thing: Coming up with a great plot for a kung fu movie is not an easy task.
Teddy Chan's combination police procedural and kick-butt action film provides a sturdy vehicle for longtime Hong Kong star Donnie Yen (Ip Man), who at age 51 proves he's still in good enough shape to deliver all the right moves. Featuring a slew of Hong Kong movie veterans in cameo roles and an extended tribute montage during the end credits, Kung Fu Killer will surely please genre aficionados even if it's unlikely to repeat the crossover success of such martial arts epics as The Raid and its sequel.
The charismatic Yen, who also served as the film's "action director," plays the central role of Hahou Mo, a former kung fu instructor imprisoned for accidentally killing one of his opponents. He's sprung from jail to help a police unit led by Detective Luk (Charlie Young) track down a deranged, club-footed serial killer who's been dispatching various martial arts grandmasters, each one of them in the exact fighting style in which they specialized.
The rudimentary storyline mainly serves, of course, as an excuse for a series of elaborately staged fight sequences taking place in such exotic settings as a tattoo parlor, a film set and, most baroquely, atop a giant replica of a human skeleton. It all culminates with a lavishly staged climactic set piece featuring Hahou and the villain (an entertainingly over-the-top Baoqiang Wang) duking it out in the middle of a busy highway, barely dodging massive tractor trailers along the way.
Filmed with the sort of fluid camerawork and kineticism that seems to largely elude its American counterparts, the film (released as Hong Kong Jungle in its native country due to Chinese censorship restrictions) overcomes its formulaic elements with its superlatively choreographed fight scenes, which are only occasionally augmented by special effects. The sort of film that would be best appreciated in the '70s-era grindhouses that, sadly, no longer exist, Kung Fu Killer is delicious popcorn fare.

Finally got to see this in the theatre last night. Watched it at the alamo drafthouse, and they played half an hour worth of Shaw trailers before the movie, which I enjoyed, even if it was nothing new to me.
On to the movie.. Man this movie is freaking great! The plot and acting is solid but simple enough not to take away from the action. I enjoyed how they found a decent reason for various martial arts practitioners fighting to the death. If you don't know, the story is basically this - there is a "master killer" on the loose, he's challenging the best fighters of different styles of fighting to a duel to death in their own respective style. A man who once similarly went around challenging fighters is in prison for accidentally killing someone during a duel, he catches wind of the murders, and thinks he can help track the murderer down.
I know there was no need for a synopsis, but I enjoyed being able to fittingly use the phrases "master killer" and "duel to death" to describe it. Anyway it's a simple plot, but it's focused and makes for some great action, so I liked it a lot. There is some depth to with a small amount of backstory on a few of the characters, and that was also enjoyable and well done imo.
Anyway, the acting is pretty good all around, particularly from Wang Baoqiang as the villain. He was convincing as the psychotic, obsessed killer with a rough background. Donnie was solid, as was Michelle Bai, and their relationship had just enough development to care. Charlie Yeung was also good as well. The various cameos from past stars of the genre was great and I won't give any away for those that don't know. There are also some tributes in tv screens throughout the movie, but they're pretty in your face and not subtle, still awesome though.
Action? Fantastic! Every fight in the movie is good. I won't go much Into detail about them, but there is great use of environment/setting during the fights on top of class choreography. With that said, they were a little too stylized for me, for gratuitous knock backs, speed ups and slow downs, but I feel that's almost unavoidable in the super-hero state of action movies! My favorite fights of the film were the kickfight close to the beginning, the sword fight with Fan Siu-Wong, and the finale. The fighting was great throughout though, and there was a great variation of styles due to the nature of the movie from kickboxing to animal styles.
Anyway, I gotta cut this one short but I think I pretty much covered everything. Great movie, everyone should see it. Definitely one of my favorite MA movies from the last few years. The only negatives to me were some "super-hero like" parts (there were only few though), besides that, I really liked it.
I also noticed the awkward cut during one of the best fights in the film that people mentioned in the thread for this movie. It doesn't detract from enjoying the scene, just makes me wish I knew what the hell I missed!
I'm glad I could help ignite your interests in this movie! Honestly, I loved it, I'm buying it day 1 when its releases here in the States. I tried not to read many opinions on the movie before seeing it, and still haven't, so I may be hyping it way more than most people.. But yah, I'd call it great. I'll put on my flame retardant outfit and say this is my favorite MA film since the Raid: Redemption, and that I also prefer it to the Raid: Redemption overall.. It doesn't quite reach the highs of the Raid as far as action goes, but it still has damn good action, and is a much more complete film overall IMHO. I really didn't care for the Raid 2, but It deserves a second viewing.
Please don't let my hype for it let you make crazy high expectations, I'd hate to spoil an awesome movie for you. (It took me two or three viewing of 8 DIagram Pole Fighter to realize it was great due to crazy high expectations going in.) I'll admit this movie has me acting like an excited teenage girl...and I'm not one to do that easily!
