This one is definitely up there amongst some of the more fucked-up, crazy kung fu films I've seen. Running down the list of the characters that appear in this sounds like a fever dream. Watching this film so close to Halloween is actually pretty appropriate since many of the villains that appear seem to be wearing cheap-ass Halloween masks and outfits. The main couple of bad guys just have on silver and gold demon masks, hoods and homemade wings with which they zip through the air on. Then there's a bunch of these tiger-people who have painted-up faces, claws and tiger-hoodies on. In addition to this there's a couple of other animals in the form of a fuzzy bear?-man and an elephant-guy with big floppy ears, an elephant with a dicknose painted on his belly, and tusks that he fights with. Topping all this has to be the big rubbery kung-fu octopi that appear towards the end that spit out ink and baby octopuses during their big fight scene. There's also a dwarf named Vampire, who, along with his brother, fights using a big iron ball as a suit and on the opposing team a guy with a spiky football helmet that he rams people with. The title, I think?, refers to a little kid who's part of the good guy team but luckily his annoying ass isn't in a lot of the movie. Unfortunately our main character, who's a female who's always referred to as male and never reveals she's actually a lady, has a couple of henchmen that are even more annoying then your typical little kids in kung-fu movies and they get way too much screen time. Despite Lo Lieh being in this the kung-fu is pretty underwhelming. This is more of a spectacle for lovers of the offbeat and absurd cinema from Asia. AKA LITTLE HERO WINS THE MASKS
