Review: Righting Wrong is a Hong Kong action movie that is held in some regards as a classic. It is basically a movie in the Vigilante Justice setting, where a guy takes the law into his own hands and gets into trouble. The movie is oozing of the Hong Kong 80's feeling and adds that feeling of cheesyness by today's standards. The story is simple to follow and obvious at times but is generally boring, much of the plot is advanced through miraculous discoveries that defy common sense.

The movie is focused on a few characters only but even with as much focus as there is, the characters lack texture. The movie is about strong convictions mainly justice but none of that really shines through, the characters and their actions seem hollow. There is some background on the prosecutor Jason that gives him his reasons for doing what he is doing but it still lacks that certain emotion. In general the characters do not really enrich this movie.

Action wise you have some really nice martial arts from Yuen Biao and Cynthia Rothrock, both of them put up a great performance. Here is a little fun tip, pay close attention to the first fight that Cynthia does in mahjong parlor. When Cynthia does a spin kick on one of the tables you will see that Yuen Biao doubles for her, its only a split second so you have to pay close attention, very funny! The fights in the movie are all very good but we found the distance between fights in the movie was a little long probably due to the lack of a compelling storyline. The fight in the hangar at the end is also very good, there is nothing like attacking someone with a giant wrench. Also Yuen Biao does this real crazy stunt, we wont say what it is but when you will see it, you will basically agree that Yuen is as much crazy as Jackie Chan for doing something like that.
