Review: Dreadnaught is an old style kung fu movie, the movie portrays another incarnation of the Wong Fei-Hung character. Wong Fei Hung is a doctor and martial arts specialist that existed and many movies have used him as a character. The story is about a coward who eventually becomes somebody who falls into the path of a mysterious masked killer, it is very simple and entertaining.

Like in most old style kung fu movies the characters are very likable, there are a couple important characters in this movie but none of them really stuck out as the main character. The characters are pretty stereotyped as in most old style kung fu movies but they are great none the less, it is exactly what you come to expect when you watch these old movies. One thing to mention, the main character Mousy (Yuen Biao) did not seem present enough. There were times where he seemed more like a secondary character.

For a Kung Fu movie there is not as much action as we would have liked to have seen. There are many small scenes during the course of the movie that are beautifully choreographed but they are simply too short. At the end of the movie you have one large fight that is equally incredible. The martial arts used in this movie are of the realistic style, it is a pity that there isn't more of it. The movie may be lacking kung fu but the charming story wont bore you while Mousy`s cowardly antics will keep you smiling.
