The greatest prison boxing film featuring a black midget called The Midnight Thud ever? I think so and I think you will too after watching. If Rocky was trained by The Midnight Thud he woulda beat Clubber Lang the first time. Unfortunately Raymond Kessler who portrayed The Thud passed away earlier this year which means he won't return for the rumoured Penitentiary 4 to be directed by Woody Allen.

Hells bells this film is bad. I'm a big fan of Jackie Chan and Sammo but this is a big stain on the comedy action genre. The fight scenes are ok, nothing spectacular. I didn't go into it expecting oscar winning acting but Sammo Hung is plain embarrasing to watch. The villain of the piece is hilarious in his own cigar twizzling way but I have no idea why his American main henchman wears more mascarra than a dozen cheap whores. It's easy to pick holes in the plot as plot isn't what this films about. All in all very disapointing I was expecting great things and Sammo let me down.
