'The Postman Fights Back' (1982) – Ronnny Yu.
Dramatically
set during times of rural privation, and turbulent political unrest,
heroic courier Ma (Leung kar-yan) reluctantly undertakes an
increasingly precarious journey. Delivering a mysterious package to a
rebel leader, Ma, and his motley companions, must courageously
overcome many life-threatening obstacles. Ace director Ronny Yu's
wintry, thrillingly violent quest, has the mythic qualities of an
existential western alongside the hyper kineticism of a blazing, exquisitely choreographed Martial Arts epic! This wild bunch's
thrillingly bloody exodus in bandit country provides an adrenalizing
number of dazzling sequences, and the bravura, bullet-blasted finale
is a gonzo Golden Harvest classic! It's a trip watching cool Gun Fu maestro, Chow Yun-fat throw down with his fists with equal deadly efficacy!!!!
