 [KFCC] The Kid From Tibet Review
Mixing old legend, brutal traditional kung fu fight sequences, magical power and light humor, The Kid From Tibet has a lot of interesting elements but never really impresses us as we have already seen these kind of ideas before, and sometimes done better.
The premise is interesting, as it shows a bit about the nature of the monks, with great shots inside the old temple and also the natural scenery around the Tibet Mountain.
I’m not really surprised that The kid From Tibet never became a classic of the genre as most of the elements present in the movie can be found better represented in other Hong Kong productions.
