Yellow River Fighter (1988) |
 |
|
Yellow River Fighter is a Mainland China made martial art epic filmed by Cheung Yam Yim director of both Shaolin Temple and Kids From Shaolin. It stars Yu Cheng Hui who was the lead villain in both Shaolin Temple and Martial Arts Of Shaolin.
Yellow River Fighter has the same sets of qualities and defects of most Mainland made martial art production; gorgeous sceneries and superb Wushu performers on one hand but rather routine plotting and fights scenes lacking the edge and intensity of Hong-Kong martial art movies. Still despite it’s shortcoming the movie remains a quite genial effort thanks to Yu Cheng Hui’s energic performance and gives great pathos and dignity to his beleaguered hero. Mainland wushu movies illumines Yu Hai, Hu Jian Qiang, Kai Chun Wah and Sun Jian Kui have all small parts in the movie as does Hung Yan Yan as well in a early role playing a cross-eyed warrior. The action of the movie is set around the Yellow River one of China two most important rivers (the other one being the Yangtze). It owes it’s name to the yellowish deposits it carries which are left on it’s riverbanks
