Moon Warriors (1992)

Sammo Hung is no fool; he uses every second of Moon Warriors’ short running time to get the story across despite limitations. There isn't one second of wasted footage. It must have been a challenge, because it’s so densely packed with fast-paced fight scenes that on paper it would seem to have left little time for anything else. The four main protagonists don’t have much history and are instead characterised by their immediate actions, but it’s enough to differentiate each one and make us care about them.
