After paying homage to John Woo’s heroic bloodshed movies in his drug-cartel thriller The White Storm almost three years ago, Hong Kong filmmaker Benny Chan Muk-sing has returned with his best film in years in Call of Heroes, a Chinese wuxia epic with obvious echoes to classic spaghetti Western films and Akira Kurosawa’s samurai dramas like Seven Samurai and Yojimbo.
A test was reminiscent of New Police Story but Jackie Chan's influence is felt every time someone lamps someone with whatever they light upon first.
He starred in House of Flying Daggers but is probably best-known for Infernal Affairs, the Hong Kong classic that Martin Scorsese remade as The Departed.
