Red Phoenix

A mysterious masked assailant, referred to in the film as “Red Dress Man”, is picking off members of Uncle Shen Pei’s martial arts school one by one, only promising to reveal his true identity after he has killed 10 students. There is just so much to enjoy in this fun and fast paced film – whether it be trying to guess who the killer is amongst at least half a dozen red herrings of just appreciating the visual elements such as the wicked looking two-faced red mask that the assassin wears or the phony looking deadly projectile that is the Red Phoenix! Fights are an even mixture of hand-to-hand combat and footwork with a healthy dose of acrobatics and some wirework, though all of the fights take place outdoors in wide-open spaces.
