Very well executed

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film

HARDBOILED 2: THE LAST BLOOD isn't actually a sequel to the John Woo movie - it came out two years BEFORE that film. However, it is heavily indebted to the director's THE KILLER, and the hospital set-piece climax may actually have influenced the Woo movie in turn. What is a surprise is that THE LAST BLOOD turns out to be a great addition to the 'heroic bloodshed' genre in itself, featuring fast-paced comedy, lots of snappy dialogue and jokes, and some relentless, high-octane action set-pieces.The villains in the film are simple: a Japanese 'red army' faction, determined to kill a holy man visiting Singapore. The heroes are a mixed bunch, including desperate Triad Andy Lau, whose girlfriend needs a blood transfusion; comic relief Eric Tsang, a blood donor; veteran cop Beardy; plus straight man Alan Tam. The narrative is full of chases, assassination attempts, bloody shoot-outs, and murder, and it never pauses for a second, offering exceptional entertainment value from beginning to end. It might well be Wong Jing's best film...

This is a solid Heroic Bloodshed drama with some EXCELLENT scenes of stunt work and gun play. The plot doesn't cover anything memorable, however it has a fast pacing so the run-time will go by fairly quickly. A high religious figure visits Singapore with full knowledge of a planned terrorist attack, although he entrusts the local police to protect him if anything awry should go down (which it most certainly does). The movie follows a group of ragtag men who try to save the religious figure's life after it becomes endangered and on-the-line in a local hospital. A terrorist group wishes to have the figure killed, and many waves of enemies confront our group of ragtag heroes in the midst of assassination attempts. There's a multitude of great action present within the movie, and a couple scenes should surprise you in terms of WOW.. If your a fan of over-the-top action movies then this should be a satisfying watch. - 7/10

A terrorist group, called The Red Army, want the Daka Lama dead, and they'll do anything to kill him. As he enters the airport in Singapore he is shot down. Also in Singapore is a man and his girlfriend. During the gun battle she is also hit. They are alive but need operations to live. The only problem, they both have a rare blood type. And they need the blood to have the operations, without the operations they will die. To make matters worse only a very few people have this rare blood type in the area. The Police and the woman's boyfriend go looking for the people with the rare blood, hoping to save the Daka Lama and the woman. But the terrorists know this as well and are planning on killing the people with the rare blood type as a way to kill the Daka Lama. The Police must get at least one of the people to the hospital to save the lives of the Lama and the woman. But with the terrorists hell bent on killing the Daka Lama it will be almost impossible to reach the hospital in time. Can they save the day and the lives of two innocent people or will the terrorists get what they want?'Jing Tian Shi er Xiao Shi' is such an action packed movie. It was crazy! But I loved every moment of it. I'm glad I watched it alone because I was constantly screaming at the more tight action parts. If you want an action packed movie, this is it! The stunts are awesome and the movie contains a fantastic car chase. It also throws in some comedy. Though some word of caution for non-regular viewers of Hong Kong action movies: it is rather violent. The film holds a few twists, but most of them you can see coming a mile away. Although this isn't a detractor to the film.I had a great time with this film. The action just kept on coming right up to the crazy finale in a hospital.8/10

Last Blood (1990) was a funny flick by Wong Jing. The Daka Lama is severely wounded while making a goodwill trip to Singapore. A triad's girlfriend is also wounded when a group of Japanese Assassins try to kill the Lama. The two share a rare blood type and only five people in Singapore have it. But three are dead and one is on holiday. The fate of Asia lies in the body of Fatty who's being chased by two cops, the vacationing triad and a horde of terrorists. The film winds up in a crackerjack finale. Wong Jing throws in everything including the kitchen sink in this low budgeted action film.One scene to watch for is the man in a wheelchair during the Hospital invasion. It's a real hoot. Film stars Alan Tam, Andy Lau and Eric Tsang who's also the Producer. Wong Jing is a hired gun on the film but he brings his usual stamp on to the screen. Blackie Ko is the Action Director. This is sometimes called Hardboiled 2, but this came out almost two years before that one and is just as entertaining. Highly recommended.
