Crazy Fist: A Champion Final Fight Chinese Film Thoughts


       


 


   Crazy Fist is a 2019 Chinese film directed by Qing Guo and stars Collin Chou, Steve Yoo, and Xiaoming Hiang. There's also a special appearance by retired bodybuilder Kai Greene......





   A retired mix martial arts fighter takes revenge on an undercover investigation after his friend is killed in the ring......  



   Crazy Fist was a film that I neither loved of hated. I was honestly on the middle of both emotions. The film just felt super over the top. The acting was over the top along with the fight matches. Who would fight a match with a ring surrounded by alligator infested water?? That's so unrealistic that it's sort of funny. The plot was there just enough to justify a means for the film to progress forward but still generic all the same. There's not much else to say about this film story wise. 






  Steve Yoo had more screen time than the actor listed as the star of the film..... We got more of him shirtless or in tight fitted shirts just over acting in the camera. If you want to see Steve as eye candy then this film is for you. Kai Greene was in this film for all of a few seconds. I wasn't surprised at this since Chinese films use foreigners as promotion like this constantly. 







     I honestly watched this film as a fan of Steve's music, so I kinda got what I came for. I didn't expect this film to be a masterpiece. The misleading cover art stopped the expectation.
