What a Hero! is an interesting blend of action and comedy with a crime twist. Andy Lau as Yuen Tak Wah really owns the role of a Taekwondo-skilled cop, showcasing some impressive moves, especially that 720 Degree Whirlwind Kick. The pacing has its ups and downs; it shifts between comedic moments and serious cop drama, which keeps you on your toes. You get this sense of rivalry with Officer Cheung Yeung played by Roy Cheung, adding some tension in the mix. The practical effects are decent for the early '90s, and there’s a certain charm to the choreography, even if it’s not always polished. It’s all about the vibes, really – a good watch if you're into that mix of martial arts with humor.
