The Hot, the Cool, and the Vicious is another one of those kung fu movies that every fan has to have seen. A young, troublesome fighter named Pai Yu Ching (Don Wong Tao) and the town sheriff named Captain Lu (Dorian Tan) at first don’t see eye-to-eye. Eventually, the mayor’s son is tried for murder and Captain Lu tries to bring him to justice. Later, Pai Yu Ching is hired to protect the mayor’s son from getting arrested and to prevent Captain Lu from discovering the mayor’s involvement in a counterfeiting ring. Things take a turn for the worse when the mayor calls in a dangerous fighter named Gold Hair (Tommy Lee) as backup. When Pai Yu Ching reveals his true identity, he teams up with Captain Lu to defeat Gold Hair and bring the mayor to justice.
The story in this movie is mostly simple and even pretty engaging. But towards the middle, this movie kinda derails into a monotonous fight-fest. That certainly doesn’t mean that the fight scenes are bad. Actually, for the time being, these fight scenes looked really impressive, but sometimes there’s too little focus on the story. The characters really aren’t anything exceptional and the fights are maybe too frequent, but still, this movie is pretty awesome. The two best scenes in this movie are easily the opening and the finale. The finale in particular is downright amazing. And as long as this movie is exciting or engrossing enough, I can’t really complain. In conclusion, The Hot, the Cool, and the Vicious is deserving enough to warrant its own t-shirt.
