Scorpion King (1992)

Scorpion King (1992) (MM SUB) is a gritty Hong Kong action film directed by David Lai and starring Chin Kar-lok. Unlike the Hollywood The Scorpion King (2002), this film is a street-level crime thriller with intense martial arts and gunplay. The story follows a skilled fighter caught in the underworld's violent power struggles. The action sequences are well-choreographed, blending brutal hand-to-hand combat with explosive gunfights. Chin Kar-lok delivers a strong performance, showcasing his agility and stunt skills. While the plot is fairly standard for a ‘90s Hong Kong crime film, the raw energy and stylish action make it an enjoyable watch for fans of the genre. It may not be as well-known as some of its contemporaries, but Scorpion King is a solid entry in the era’s action cinema.
