More
stuff that should probably be avoided. There obviously is
an audience for these "kung-fu kids" extravaganzas,
but who will admit to being a part of it? |

Review
by Kozo: |
Ick.
It's one of those screwy comedies starring Kok Siu-Man (the
little fat kid) and Sik Siu-Lung (his kung-fu pal). While
the two are in possession of their own cottage industry, the
movies they're churning out are far from any good. Ten
Brothers continues the trend, though it substitutes director
Lee Lik-Chee for usual partner-in-crime Chiu Yen-Ping. That
change does little to save this film, though.
Kenny Bee and Cheung Man star
as a poor couple who inherit some farmland containing a magical
bracelet of the gods. From the bracelet spawn ten superpowered
brothers, who stand to help the couple. Unfortunately, evil
General Wu (Tsui Kam-Kong) wants to use the brothers for their
benefit. They turn briefly, but as you would expect all the
"good" people join forces to take out the "bad"
people.
There's also comedy, which is
unfortunate. The gags are of the wacky, low-brow variety,
and the presence of Kok Siu-Man is near-painful. In the end,
this movie will probably be a hit for its target audience:
kids. For the rest of us, it could induce Incredible Hulk-like
rage and possible years of therapy. (Kozo 1995) |
