HK-Movie: 給爸爸的信 (Jet Li's The Enforcer)
classfloat-right aka My Father Is a Hero and Letter to Daddy.
Excerpt from review by Grady Hendrix at YesAsia.com:classblockquoteJet Li/Tze Miu – the best father/son team ever MY FATHER IS A HERO (1995)
VCD version
Directed by: Corey Yuen-kwai Starring: Jet Li, Tze Miu, Anita Mui Yim-fong, Yu Rong-guang, Ken Lo Wai-Kwong
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.
