If Iron Monkey hit the spot, these will too

The same mix in both: momentum, then grit

Action with a pulse of stillness, in both cases

Both trade on momentum more than on being crime
The difference: A 1970s film, from a different era of filmmaking

Both circle martial arts and secret identity

Drama built on grit, twice over
The difference: Leans thriller where Iron Monkey does not

Secret identity is the engine of both

Both built around kung fu
The difference: Missing the grit of Iron Monkey

Contemplative action in both cases

Kinetic crime, and it commits to that

Both trade on grit more than on being drama

Both keep circling back to martial arts

Both trade on stillness more than on being action
In the mood for more kinetic?
