Kung Fu Executioner is about a man Li (Billy Chong) who must take revenge on the killers who killed his father and other family members. A criminal name Hung Chun Fai (Chan Sing) escapes and is bent on building up his criminal empire using opium. Gathering together some hired assassins and thugs he sets out to get a bunch of leading business men together to help in his scheme. They form a syndicate, but Li's father decides he wants no part of it, eventually leading to his death and others in his family. Li along with his friend Donny (Carl Scott) take the law into there own hands and get revenge for there family. To no surprise the cops seem to be nowhere in this movie while the body count rises. As Kung Fu movies go this is better than the average ones, but does not come up the level of The Shaw Brothers films. However this is still action packed with some very well choreographed fight scenes, mostly involving the Kendo men and there teacher Shima (Chiang Tao). But, there are many fights in which the opponent is knocked across the room with a single blow. These should have been left on the cutting floor, but unintentionally will give you more then a couple of laughs. The ending kill is rather stupid as well. Sing is always a great villain along with Tao and are both appreciated in this film. Chong and Scott have amazing skills, with both there hands and weapons and are worth watching just for that. The dubbing is not to bad in this, but the dialogue as usual is pretty stupid anyway. I believe they probably over did it on the waaaaa stuff that was voiced for Chong. Overall this is by far not my favorite Kung Fu flick and will bore you at times. I will have to go neutral on this one. 5/10 stars.
