Out of this time comes a weapon known as the Power Glove, which activates hidden powers in the human brain that enable those who wear the glove to have super powers. When a former special agent known as War 21 shows up with a Power Glove planning to use it for evil, it's up to Nova (Wang Lee-Hom) to stop him. The Avenging Fist also stars martial arts film legends Sammo Hung, Stephen Fung, and Yuen Biao. ~ Jason Gibner, Rovi

Futuristic beat-em-up set in Hong Kong. I was more impressed by the futuristic elements in this than the actual action. It comes up with some quite creative and impressive visuals and some cool little media gadgets which will probably make their way on to the market in the not too distant future. The action was a little disappointing, there wasn't enough for a start and it was too over stylized and CGI assisted. It's also quite Tekken-esque in it's look, so much so that the makers left a notice during the end credits mentioning that the film is in no way connected to the Tekken computer game series. It's entertaining enough but it tries too hard to be cool and stylish.
