The Paper Tigers

The Paper Tigers (2020) is a martial-arts action comedy you can watch online on iFILM. Three teenagers were once kung fu prodigies. Decades later they are worn-down, middle-aged guys who pull a hamstring just getting off the couch.

Everything shifts when their old master turns up dead. Danny (Alain Uy), Hing (Ron Yuan) and Jim (Mykel Shannon Jenkins) have to drop the dull day jobs, the dad duties and years of bad blood to track down whoever did it. Quoc Bao Tran's directing debut takes a straight revenge-and-honor plot and plays it for laughs about aging bodies and stubborn pride. The fights are staged for real; the jokes about being out of shape hit even harder. Stream The Paper Tigers (2020) online on iFILM.
