Stone was the King of Fighters at TBS High, until he left the school for a year. Edward, a nerdy student, is accidentally transferred to TBS. Phoenix has a crush on Edward, but is afraid to admit. Stone returns with the vow never to fight. He decides to teach Edward to defend himself. However, Mantis, the current TBS King of Fighters, won't stand for it. He wants to fight Stone to see who te real King of Fighters is. Edward is kidnapped and only Mantis holds they key as to who kidnapped Edward. When I heard news of this film, I so wanted to see it. After all, since seeing Gen-X Cops, I became fans of Nicholas Tse and Stephen Fung. This is their first action project together since GXC. And it is well worth seeing.<br/><br/>Take Stephen Fung's nerd who ends up at the worst high school in Hong Kong by accident and take Nicholas Tse's former King of Fighters at the high school, mix it up with a storyline about friendship, challenges, and kidnapping and spice it up with some power packed martial arts & wire stunts, and you have this entertaining action film.<br/><br/>What amazed me the most is that Stephen, Nicholas, Joey Yung, and Samuel Pang all performed their own stunts in the film. The courage this new generation of actors can do. If you can, get your hands on this film!!! I just finished watching this film, and I must say that this is one of the wittiest, films I've seen in a long time. It's a satire on Form 5 schools, (which is almost like juvenille schools) in Hong Kong. Many over the top fights, with some special effects in the mix, bullies, graffiti, all the sterotypical aspects of a "ghetto" school environment.<br/><br/>Main characters Stephen Fung, Nicholas Tse, and Joey Yung, give believable performances as the smart, the barbarian, and the annoying. The kung-fu fight scenes were done particularly well, since many of the actors had very little kung-fu training. Very slapstick, and is not to be taken too seriously, this film will keep your attention, if you are looking for a lighthearted fun time.<br/><br/>For those who are into video games, they will find it slightly more amusing near the end of the film.<br/><br/>Highly recommended.
