A piece of 80s vigilante kitsch featuring Yuen Biao and Cynthia Rothrock entitled Above the Law (AKA Righting Wrongs). I can't recommend the story, or dialog, or acting, but Rothrock kicks serious ass and Yuen Biao has some very cool stunts. I guess that's why the Dragon Dynasty label carried it. One of the problems is that its mix of broad comedy and sadistic violence doesn't sit well with me. And if the central theme is that the system of justice doesn't work, it's undermined by how the movie just doesn't understand how the law works! And then there's the 80s synth music, usually a sure-fire way of bringing a movie's watchability down. 6 years 11 months ago -
