NEW KILLERS IN TOWN is a middling Hong Kong action flick of 1990. The experience of watching it was soured for me as I saw the badly-dubbed American version which randomly pads out the narrative with lots of Jackie Chan clips stolen from THE PROTECTOR which only serve to muddy the waters. The main story is about a couple of goofy Chinese hicks who come to Hong Kong and fall foul of the usual gangster types.
Moon Lee is star billed but she doesn't have a great deal to do here other than show off some moves at a martial arts demonstration. The two main characters are dull and the actors fail to impress. Eddie Maher does a good intense villain as usual and Sophia Crawford plays in support, but the real star is the legendary Liu Chia-Liang, who gets one excellent warehouse fight scene to himself at the climax. There's also some fun stuff in a building site, but mainly this is a film which is too cheap to succeed.
