However, I find 'Hand of Death' to be the weakest film from Woo that I've seen (I haven't been able to watch any of the other early non-action titles that Woo directed in the early-80s). Not that it's bad or anything but it's pretty much like every other martial arts title from the time period in that it doesn't really do much to stand itself apart in terms of the story and themes, and while the action sequences are good, they aren't anything spectacular. However, it might be worth watching once just to see some early appearances from Jackie Chan and Sammo Hung (who I believe was the fight coordinator for the film, and has a set of gnarly teeth!), and it might be worth checking out just to see the beginning of John Woo's career and see how he was able to work on his directing skills and hone his craft before he made it big with his Heroic Bloodshed titles.
