Kung Fu Student is one of those curious gems from the late '80s. Lin Hsiao Lan's portrayal of a bullied student adds a layer of depth to the action. The film’s pacing feels a bit off at times, but it gives the story a unique rhythm. The dynamic between her character and Alexander Lo Rei—who’s stuck due to a reincarnation mishap—brings an oddball buddy element that’s surprisingly engaging. The practical effects are worth noting; they may not have the polish of today’s CGI but there's a certain charm in their raw execution. The themes of friendship and vengeance weave through the fight sequences, giving them weight beyond just physicality. It’s the sort of film that sticks with you for its quirks and that earnest vibe. Definitely not your typical martial arts flick.
