  Hong Kong Phooey is more believable and infinitely more entertaining...
  
  Painful does not come close to describing how poor this film is. It is a poorly dubbed, cliche-ridden hell-hole of a film.
  
  The plot is hackneyed and ... read more »

- High energy, visually witty comedy that is close in style to Looney Tunes cartoons. Its approach is a mix of tongue in cheek and fist in the stomach, as it both parodies martial arts movies and stages some spectacular battles of its own.
