A Tooth for a Tooth is a wild ride through the gritty underbelly of crime and martial arts. Cheung Lik shines as the kung fu kid, caught in a whirlwind of betrayal after a heist goes wrong. The film’s pacing keeps you on your toes, with quick cuts and dynamic fight sequences that feel raw and unpolished, giving it a visceral edge. The atmosphere is thick with tension, as the rivalry between the triads and the Yakuza unfolds, showcasing a blend of street smarts and martial prowess. The practical effects hold up well, and the performances, while not always polished, have a certain charm that underscores the film's rough-and-ready vibe. It’s one of those lesser-known gems that showcases the kinetic energy of 70s action cinema.
A Tooth for a Tooth has had a varied release history, with both VHS and DVD formats available, but finding a pristine copy can be a challenge. It remains somewhat under the radar among collectors, which often leads to intriguing conversations at film festivals or meet-ups. Its scarcity and unique blend of genres attract those interested in cult classics and the evolution of kung fu cinema from this era.
