My Father Is A Hero DVD Region All
YesAsia Editorial Description
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"
|
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 whos 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 its 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. Thats 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. by Grady Hendrix |

| 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. |

| 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. |

| 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. |

| 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. |
