The action is awesome The story felt pretty melodramatic but I can't really count that as a negative since I enjoyed this film 😆 Someone in the village invested HARD into bear traps 😂 There must've been hundreds considering how many people were getting caught in them

Good Easter watch due to the inclusion of the seldom used Checkov's Crucifix.

Ça date de 95 mais possède une esthétique de 59 (in a good way) avec des combats over the top dignes d'un shonen jap mais sans avoir l'air ridicule. Impressionnante exécution.
c'tellement hot j'ai le goût de m'acheter un gros couteau chinois. je vais le revoir for sure.
