LA TUA VALUTAZIONE

Mykel Shannon Jenkins, Ron Yuan, and Alain Uy in The Paper Tigers (2020)

As teenagers, kung fu disciples Danny (Alain Uy), Hing (Ron Yuan) and Jim (Mykel Shannon Jenkins) were inseparable. Fast forward 25 years, and each has grown into a washed-up middle-aged man seemingly one kick away from pulling a hamstring -- and not at all preoccupied with thoughts of martial arts or childhood best friends. But when their old master is murdered, the trio reunites, soon learning that avenging their sifu will require conquering old grudges (and a dangerous hitman still armed with ample knee cartilage) if they are to honorably defend his legacy.

Enjoyable fun.

Its about a 7.5 IMHO. Standard base story we've all seen many times before (in stuff like Perfect Weapon, etc), but with the whole 'got old' brand of humour thrown in. Anyone who knows any kung fu will recognize many of the things that are lampooned gently, but it never gets mean in its humour, instead being quite respectful with the treatment of its subject matter.

Casting and characters are good, fight scenes were entertaining, and generally it was well paced. Better than any of the last few Karate Kid movies.

Fun, funny and will touch anyone who practiced martial arts

A wonderful movie, comedy with some drama, any guy who watched action movies with martial arts and/or practiced will really enjoy this, especially if your in your over 40, as the story is about few guys who were kong fu fighters in the 90s in there youth and today, after retired from practicing for many years, are living the boring lives of middle aged men in America, stuck with their daily routines and mediocrity, until an event is forcing them to return to their true nature of kong fu. Lot's of funny moments and scenes, a must watch!

Not bad, not great either. Still glad I saw it

Plenty of solid funny parts and the martials arts stunts were well done. Story was a little bit overblown and the movie was a tad longer than it needed to be. Worth watching if you like martial arts films though.

Pretty good martial arts movie that we don't see too often these days

This movie was a good watch. It wasn't anything crazy but it gave me a taste of what I was looking for, and then some. There was some great fighting scenes, jokes and comedy scenes that made me laugh, and the story, although a tad bit exaggerated, had me interested from beginning to end. The actors were likeable, and their flashbacks linking them to their younger selves looked good and helped me understand them a little more. I'd probably watch this movie again.

Enjoyable flick

Definitely not a mediocre film. I knew not to expect an Ip Man or Bloodsport type of movie. I smiled and laughed throughout film.

Quiz
When pitching the story to Hollywood studios, Hollywood wanted a white lead character to be played by Bruce Willis for $4 million dollars. They also wanted a role written for Nicolas Cage. The director and producers declined the offer and request because the script is originally about an Asian-American main character with a leading cast who are people of color. The team did not want to whitewash film, so they ended up going to Kickstarter to raise over $124,000 and had a few other investors to fund their independent film instead.
