Higher CrapScores mean more entertainingly bad. How we score movies.
Wong Fei-hung gets caught in an antiquities-smuggling dispute and answers with astonishing drunken-boxing choreography. The story is a delivery system for extraordinary physical comedy. Club value comes from the heightened antics and, in dubbed versions, clumsy dialogue; the stunt work deserves unqualified respect.
