Watch Circus Kids For Free

Simply A Masterpiece

hyped garbage

Don't listen to the negative reviews

it is finally so absorbing because it plays like a lyrical road odyssey that’s also a detective story.

Donnie yen only has a small part in this and Yuen Biao plays the lead. Wu Ma runs a circus and Yuen Biao is his top performer. Because of war going on they have to close the circus. David Lam Wai (co-star of Project A2) plays a clown who becomes a drug addict and ends up getting killed. Now the circus goes to take revenge on drug smugglers.The movie basically comes down to 2 main fight scenes. Yuen Biao takes on Ken Lo and Donnie Yen fights Bey Logan. The Yuen Biao fight starts out bad but gets a lot better once Ken Lo starts kicking. Then we have Donnie Yen vs. Bey Logan. This is one of the worst fight scenes ever filmed and I kid you not, it is worse than their fight in the Fist of Fury TV series from 2001. I don't think I have ever seen a worse Donnie Yen fight.

This movie left me with a serious case of Deja Vu. Somewhere somehow I know I have seen this movie before.................that's right Drunken Master 2. I have never seen to different movies so much alike before in my life. Let's go with the differences first. Yuen Biao is in a circus troupe and it has Donnie (My Favorite Martial Artist In The World) Yen in it.I could give you some details about the movie, but again if you've seen Drunken Master 2 (aka Legend of the Drunken Master), then this movie speaks for itself. Does that mean this movie is bad because of the similarities? By far that is a no. Circus Kids is a very good movie in it's own right. It's not the best Yen, or Biao movie, and it is certainly not the worst.

This end fight is pretty decent despite the horrid camera work and the cranking speed of the film. I got bored of watching this movie at the start. Donnie can do a lot better and biao does save the film. Just fast forward to the last chapter and watch ken lo do some of his magnificent kicks like in drunken master 2. Biao does a lot of rope fights and well its worth a watch. The movie is about a circus and the acrobatics in it. There's a lot of child like scenes in the movie and its kinda a cross between jet lis enforcer and drunken master 2 yet not up to par with either movie... just scenes remind me of both. I was lucky enough to find this movie at walmart in the boxing day discount bin with high voltage so if you see it pick it up!

Despite the fact that Circus Kid is probably the weakest film in Yuen Biao's absolutely brilliant filmography, this means that due to Yuen Biao's ridiculously brilliant high standards, this is still head and shoulders head of other martial arts films.Directed by Wu Ma, who one year earlier directed Yuen Biao in the all-tome classic Kickboxer, makes the best of a relatively poor script written by `gweilo in exile' Bey Logan. This film also stars Donnie Yen, who thankfully has few scenes in this film as his acting is stilted to say the least, although he stars in some fantastic fight scenes.The film focuses on a circus troupe who are bombed out by the Japanese (this film is set in the second world war). The troupe is headed by Wu Ma (who also directs), and features Yuen Biao as his apprentice. The troupe travel to Beijing and one of them gets a job in a factory, unknown to them, which sell opium. Donnie Yen plays a policeman.This film has a pretty poor script, thanks to Bey Logan, who also fights Donnie Yen. Bey Logan is terrible and very slow against the very fast Donnie Yen. Some of the twists the plot takes are illogical and takes Yuen Biao, and all his might to redeem this feature in some pretty spectacular fight scenes. Circus Kid also stars Lili Li, who makes a welcome comeback after Sang Kun's daughter in Young Master who fights Jackie Chan. (A piece of interesting trivia is that Yuen Biao played her brother in Young Master).Despite being probably the weakest film on Yuen Biao's incredible filmography, it has some fantastic fight scenes, a fantastic performance by Yuen Biao (do you expect anything else?), competent enough direction by Wu Ma, and is head and shoulders better than other martial arts movies. So if you get the chance, don't miss it.
