Licence to Steal

This week, Gavin and I get to share our AWESOME experience we had viewing an absolutely AMAZING entry from the golden era of Hong Kong martial arts cinema, ON THE BIG SCREEN! Not only that, it was a rare first time viewing for the both of us! I am talking about the 1990 action epic, ‘Licence to Steal.’ Starring Joyce Mina Godenzi (aka Mrs. Sammo Hung) and featuring one of the best supporting casts ever assembled, including superstar Yuen Biao, comedic genius Richard Ng, up and coming martial arts dynamo Colin Chou, World Kickboxing Champion Billy Chow- and that’s just to name a few! Directed by veteran Hong Kong stuntman/actor Billy Chan, and produced by Sammo Hung himself, this film features non-stop martial arts action of the highest caliber from start to finish. With fist fights galore, cat and mouse games of master thieves, and an eclectic cast of characters that have to be seen to be believed, this movie has a little something for everyone to enjoy! With a highly captivating opening Kendo battle, and not one, but TWO jaw-dropping final fight scenes, this one will keep you on the edge of your seat from start to finish! We want to thank the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures for putting on this amazing evening of films as part of their moth long tribute to Sammo Hung! We hope they make this an annual tradition and look forward to whichever martial arts star they may decide to feature next year!
