Certified “Fresh” on Rotten Tomatoes and critically-acclaimed around the world, THE PAPER TIGERS, a homage to feel-good martial arts films like The Karate Kid, debuts on Blu-ray™ and DVD June 22 from Well Go USA Entertainment. The audience-pleasing film shows how three dedicated kung fu disciples grew into washed-up, middle-aged men—now one kick away from pulling their hamstrings. But when their master is murdered, they must juggle their dead-end jobs, dad duties, and old grudges to avenge his death. The award-winning feature film debut of Director Tran Quoc Bao, THE PAPER TIGERS stars Alain Uy (“Helstrom,” “True Detective”), Ron Yuan (Mulan, “Marco Polo”), and Mykel Shannon Jenkins (The Gods, Undisputed III: Redemption). The film is currently available to watch in theaters and on digital.
Following its world premiere at the Fantasia Film Festival, THE PAPER TIGERS played numerous festivals around the world, winning the Audience Award for Best Narrative Film at the Boston Asian American Film Festival and the Grand Jury Prize for Best Feature Film at the Seattle Asian American Film Festival.
Synopsis: 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.
It was nice to sit down and watch this movie on DVD. It’s something different and I’m all about different and unique films. The story line is entertaining and well-written. It’s packed with action and will keep you hanging on the edge of your seat. It was nice to see new actors and talent too! On my popcorn bucket rating scale I’m giving this film 7 out of 10 popcorn buckets. You can pick it up on Amazon for a really great price.

This looks like a fun movie that is different from so many others. I think my family would enjoy it.
That does look like a fun movie. Not the usual.
We need something that is different than the same old stuff on TV and that is action packed. I am looking forward to watching this one.
