THE CHINESE GODFATHER Is a typical kung fu vehicle from Hong Kong, neither better nor worse than a hundred others you could mention. It has a fairly involving storyline which keeps you watching despite the predictability of it all, although the direction is a little sloppy and the fight scenes aren’t quite as slick as you’d hope for. It’s not to be confused with The Chinese Mack, also starring Michael Chan Wai-Man and made in the same year. In this film, Wai-Man romances a pretty girl but falls foul of a ruthless local crime boss in charge of all the gambling joints and brothels. Violence ensues. Shaw Brothers fans will be delighted to see Betty Ting Pei grabbing a large role here, but best of all is the presence of Cheng Lei, a remarkable-looking actor who always played a supporting hero role in Shaw films, as the muscular villain of the piece. The extended fight climax is something else.<\/p>\n
