Customer Reviews of Magnificent Warriors
For action fans only Michelle Yeoh stars in this 1980s-style Hong Kong action flick. If you are looking for a great story, I would just rent it if I were you. But, if you like great kick-ass action and lots of stunts, I would recommend buying this movie. Trust me, I bought it myself. I thought I would be disappointed, but fortunately it wasn't bad at all. "Magnificent Warriors" includes great choreographed action, awesome stunts, and most importantly, Michelle Yeoh...man, she can whoop some ass. This movie, as well as "Yes, Madam" is what started the great Hong Kong female-fatale era.
To keep this review short, if you like to watch 1980s Hong Kong movies with well-choreographed fighting design, get this movie right away. Warning: if you're looking for a Michelle Yeoh action movie with great story, ignore it, and get "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" instead
Incredible action scenes
Magnificent Warriors is a very uneven film, mixing a convoluted story and hit-or-mostly-miss comedy with spectacular action sequences. Thankfully there is so much action in the movie it easily outweighs the weaknesses in other areas. It was the follow up to Michelle Yeoh's ROYAL WARRIORS (a superior movie), and showcases her athletic skills and grace to an even higher extent. The fight choreography is simply some of the best that ever came out of Hong Kong - fast, intricate and brutally real. The life of a stuntman in 1980's Hong Kong was a very painful one, and the legions of stuntmen that worked on MAGNIFICENT WARRIORS must have received countless injuries to make the stunts and fights so visceral. Their sacrifice means that the viewer is treated to action that is heart-stopping in its terrible beauty.
You have to be prepared for an incredibly cheesy script and acting, but if you go in for the action then MAGNIFICENT WARRIORS will not disappoint!
Not Michelle's best, but this was fun!
This film turned out to be a surprise for me...I was expecting much less especially with the Indiana Jane look on the dvd cover, but this film delivers...Michelle is a Indiana Jane type character, who teams up with a spy in the middle of WWII, who helps protect a Chinese emperor-like individual against the Japanese...the fighting scenes are what surprised me because I thought it would be more gunplay than anything else...there are a good amount of fight scenes, some of which are pretty brutal and reminincent of royal warriors although not as great...Dont get me wrong tho, some of the scenes will make you cringe and think OUCH!...I'll admit that the last battle scene WAS more gunplay than fighting, but it doesnt take anything away from the film...check Magnificent Warriors out tho, its fun to watch plus there are many humorous scenes...check out michelle's other great stuff too like Yes Madam, Royal Warriors, Wing Chun, CTHD, and Tai Chi Master...hope this was a little helpful...later
