Product Description
As teenagers, kung fu disciples Danny (Alain Uy), Hing (Ron Yuan) and Jim (Mykel Shannon Jenkins) were inseparable. Fast forward 25 years, and each has grown into a washed-up middle-aged man seemingly one kick away from pulling a hamstring―and not at all preoccupied with thoughts of martial arts or childhood best friends. But when their old master is murdered, the trio reunites, soon learning that avenging their sifu will require conquering old grudges (and a dangerous hitman still armed with ample knee cartilage) if they are to honorably defend his legacy.
Review
Tran undoubtedly aims for an old school Hong Kong comedy martial arts movie feel, lighthearted and light on its feet, and he lands that punch dead on. But rather than a knock-out punch, it's a tickle on the ribs and a tussling of the hair. --Austin Chronicle
The Paper Tigers is crafted with a sense of passion that can only come from a filmmaker who is eager to express their own intimate creativity. Which is impressive for a feature film debut. --Film Inquiry
Even casual fans of the Jackie Chan School of Martial Arts Comedy will find copious delight in the high-kicking hi-jinx of Bao Tran's slick, impressive, value-driven debut, a fun film that delivers quality action along with some nimble human moments. --jimschembri.com
