My Father Is A Hero (Blu-ray) (Kam & Ronson Version) (Hong Kong Version)

YesAsia Editorial Description

Jet Li teams once again with kung-fu kid Tze Miu for My Father is a Hero, an action-packed kung-fu thriller with surprising emotional touches. Jet Li is a Mainland cop sent deep undercover in a Hong Kong gang of thieves. He's out of touch with his family, who worry about him constantly, but he's got his own problems. Not only is he under constant scrutiny from mega-bad guy Yu Wing Kwong, but he's got the Hong Kong cops (led by the dynamite Anita Mui) after him too! But when Jet's son (Tze Miu) comes looking for him in Hong Kong, the danger is multiplied! His identity could be compromised, which is bad news for him. But with both Jet and his son ready for tag-team kung-fu action, the news is doubly worse for the bad guys!

A host of kung-fu talents, including Ken Lo Wai Kwong and Ngai Sing (AKA Collin Chou of The Matrix Reloaded), provide fighting foils to Jet Li's spectacular martial arts skills, but it's pint-sized Tze Miu who steals My Father is a Hero! The miniature dynamo kicks and punches with surprising screen charisma, and he and Jet Li make a doubly unstoppable kung-fu duo. Directed by veteran action director Corey Yuen (The Transporter), My Father is a Hero delivers it all - action, comedy, and even drama - in one potent package!

Professional Review of "My Father Is A Hero (Blu-ray) (Kam & Ronson Version) (Hong Kong Version)"

April 9, 2008

This professional review refers to My Father Is A Hero
If ever a movie was making a bid for sainthood, My Father is a Hero is it. An unlikely act of alchemy occurs when father-son dynamics, and foot-on-head wirework are combined, making this one of the most spirited, and quasi-religious, odes to fatherhood ever committed to film. Jet Li plays the absent dad, working in Beijing as an undercover cop, who is arrested and imprisoned as part of a plan to infiltrate the gang of HKSAR crime boss, Po Kwong. Locked up with Po Kwong lackey, Blackie (Blacky Ko Sau-leung), Jet liberates the two of them in an arranged escape and after a little anti-canine kung fu, the fellas are off to Hong Kong where they link up with bad dad, Po Kwong (Yu Rong-guang), and surrogate mother, Anita Mui, a HKSAR cop who’s dogging their steps.

Terminally ill with an unnamed disease that only ant-eating can cure, Jet's saintly wife dies (there's not much room for a wife in this movie), and Jet's son, the incomporable Tze Miu, sets out on an incredible journey to find daddy. Connected only by pager, Jet Li and Tze Miu rekindle the chemistry that served them both so well in New Legend of Shaolin. Both are self-made martyrs, crucified by duty, one trying to be a dutiful son, one trying to be a dutiful dad, and it's their stoicism in the face of outrageous suffering that is the emotional crucible at the heart of this film.

Even if you're not a sucker for father-son melodrama, there's a lot to enjoy in this film. Directed by frequent Jet collaborator, Corey Yuen-kwai, it is swaddled in iconic moments, bathed in a heavenly light, and shot with all the care and attention of an illuminated manuscript. Yuen has a real eye for detail: his Beijing is a crowded, scruffy city; his Hong Kong is gleaming, and rootless, stuffed with luxury items, living room suites, coffee bars, and air conditioning. The kung fu comes courtesy of Corey Yuen as well, and it’s all tightly-orchestrated urban mayhem at its finest. The climactic fight, which sees Father (Jet Li) and Son (Tze Miu) merge into one fighting machine, feels a little truncated. That’s because it is. It was supposed to be a longer battle between superkickers Yu Rong-guang, Ken Lo, Ngai Sing, and Jet Li but Ken Lo injured his leg and things had to be curtailed. No worries. It's still a stunner, and even though Jet Li barely speaks to his own children anymore, the image of him spinning little Tze Miu around on a rope like a yo-yo should come to adorn Father's Day cards all over the world as an iconic image of kung fu fatherhood at its most hallowed.

Father & son duo Customer Review Rated Bad 8 - 8 out of 10
Have the DVD of this great Jet Li/Tze Miu combo each pretty much having there own story but where the film does a wonderful job of showing the bond between them as father/son. Throw Anita Mui into it & you have a blast of an action movie. Gotta love Yu Rong Gwong as the villain too with a classic sleeve fighting scene. The son as dart rope sequence is over the top but there are some really tense moments for the characters that shouldn't be missed.

meaningful movie Customer Review Rated Bad 8 - 8 out of 10
the acting of jet li is ok in this movie, however it has a very strong story line of fatherhood. it is the little boy who steals the show and it tells us the admiration and love he has for his father - no matter what.

DISAPPOINTED Customer Review Rated Bad 3 - 3 out of 10
WHEN I PURCHASED THIS VCD, I HAD ALREADY EXPECTED THAT THE GRAPHICS WOULD NOT BE THAT GREAT, BUT WHAT I DIDN'T EXPECT WAS THAT IT WOULD SKIP 3 IMPORTANT SCENES.

Good but not great Customer Review Rated Bad 8 - 8 out of 10
This film is OK but I must say that the chemistry between Jet and the kid was pretty good and the action wasn't bad either.
