(read more) This is actually New Kids in Town, a decent Lau Kar Yung flick that tries to feature some then younger martial artists in a routine fish-out-of-water Mainland-HK scenario. Footage from the Hong Kong version of Jackie Chan's 1985 film The Protector has been spliced in to misleadingly market it under the title above. These include a gym fight and footage of Bill "Superfoot" Wallace, but skirts around and omits his ice house fight with JC. Moon Lee & Sophia Crawford are criminally underused, getting a single fight that made it into the film. Stick around, (or ffwd) for a Lau Kar Leung vs. Eddie Maher finale.
