Fight 3: Phillip Ko Fei vs Norman Chu and David Chiang





As great as the finale of The Loot, the end fight is a mind-blowing spectacle. While Lau Kar Leung put emphasis on realistic martial arts, the choreographers of The Loot and The Challenger focuses on inventively 'cool' moves that are at once spectacular-looking and wire-free, unlike the fancy wire-fu work of Ching Siu Tung.

Yet another masterpiece of kung fu.

I know I said that David Chiang's performance in Shaolin mantis was the best in his career. That was before I saw The Loot. I was wrong. His best performance ever would be his role in The Loot, co-starring alongside Phillip Ko and Norman Chu. All 3 martial stars are excellent in this kung fu flick which features incredible fight sequences, spectacularly and elaborately choreographed, doused with a healthy dose of good humor.
David Chiang is really fast and energetic here and hilarious when doing his monkey fist. His execution of kung fu here is almost flawless, a hundred times better than in his earlier films.

The Loot is an excellent kung fu classic and you should buy the dvd if you call yourself a kung fu fan.

Thanks go to psychoper of Cinemageddon fame for this rip.

Here is what Mark Pollard at Kungfucinema has to say about this film:

"All of the plentiful weapons combat in the film that leads up to the finale is excellent. David Chiang convincingly wields a spear, three-section staff and twin butterfly knives against his adversaries. His last bout with Norman Siu is the most memorable. Part of Norman’s deadly sword technique is to frequently perform rolls on the ground. Chiang comes up with a clever method of turning this maneuver against him. Leading lady Wong Hang-sau is not just a pretty face. She also performs some energetic kung fu sparring of her own and certainly offers up the film’s most colorful character.

The final match between Chiang and Lau’s brother Kar-wing is outstanding. Apart from Kar-wing’s pipe, it’s open hand all the way. The gist is that Kar-wing’s Shadowy Fist technique is used to ensnare or trap its victim in locking attacks. Chiang’s Mantis style, with its own locking moves and counters is the perfect foil. The engagement becomes a physical chess match of sorts with equally-equipped opponents trying to outmaneuver each other. Although most of the moves are with the arms, crucial legwork isn’t left out either. The only thing that’s missing is outrageous acrobatics and leaping, but that’s not what this type of hardcore kung fu action is about. This is Lau Kar-leung, the action director at his very best and kung fu buffs should definitely take note. The gruesome finishing move, seen only by the characters’ shadows on the wall is priceless. " (check out the last screenshot)

I feel compelled to add that this is arguably David Chiang's best performance in his entire career. He is not as skilled as Gordon Liu, has no physical presence like Leung Kar Yan, but still he can be pretty good when directed by someone like Liu Chia Liang.
