Reviews from Letterboxd:

Justin Decloux – ★★★★
“HELLZ WINDSTAFF is the best title. A brutal martial arts barn burner that feels like it’s 85% action scenes—choreographed at full intensity by two Yuen Brothers and Cory Yuen (unrelated). Mang Hoi was always a Jackie Chan and Sammo Hung utility player, so it’s nice to see him (and his very large head) starring in a movie. Hwang Jang-lee does what he does best: pull off crazy moves while rocking a sick mustache.” -
Fu for Thought – ★★★★★
“A fight-filled classic. You rarely find a film as action-packed as this one and with PERFECT choreography, you’re in for a treat. You do have to sit through some typical silly humor but isn’t that the case with all kung fu films? Once it passes, it’s wall-to-wall action.” -
Jack – ★★★★
“Everything I love about kung fu cinema rolled into one underseen classic. A real grassroots, backyard brawl sort of production with meticulously choreographed sequences that could rival even the best of early Jackie.”
