Hero (1997) 馬永貞 Director: Corey Yuen Starring: Kaneshiro Takeshi, Yuen Biao, Hsuan Jessica Hester Pretty good martial arts thriller with a somewhat lacking plot and characters. Recommended if you like action and martial arts. A young man, Ma Wing-Jing (Kaneshiro) journeys to Shanghai, where he encounters a number of gangsters and crime lords. After a severe drought, Ma Wing Jing (Takeshi Kaneshiro) and Tai Cheung (Yuen Wah) leave Shantung for Shanghai. They are forced to work as coolies. Ma - a fierce fighter - saves the life of crime boss Tam See (Yuen Biao), thereby earning the hatred of Tam's rival, Yang Shuang (Yuen Tak). Ma takes control of a club run by Yam Yueng Tien (Valerie Chow) and soon becomes a famous underworld figure. His swift rise to power leaves him ill-prepared to deal with Yang's cunning and he must pay a bloody price for his success. DVD: List Price: US $20.95
