Moviegoers are saying
Vietnamese martial arts comedy 'Fish, Fists and Ambergris' delivers an infectiously entertaining throwback to 80s/90s Hong Kong action cinema, complete with spectacular choreography, laugh-out-loud slapstick, and enough cheesy charm to have audiences applauding mid-screening. Shot on a modest $700K budget with a crew that trained 6 months for fight sequences, this Stephen Chow-inspired crowd-pleaser became a Vietnamese box office hit with 2.5 million tickets sold.

Oh yeah boy, this Vietnamese movie was made for me! The Fish, Fists and Ambergris is on the same level as last years Twilight of the Warriors: Walled In and fully deliveres on the promise of an action packed, martial arts spectacle! While the story is set in the 2000's,…
yaelpollieFeb 4, 2026Wow, I underestimated this one! It managed to balance its comedy and action well enough to remain genuinely entertaining the entire way through. The only other Viet martial arts film I've seen before was Dòng Máu Anh Hùng in 2007, starring Veronica Ngô (from The Last Jedi)…

Highly enjoyable Vietnamese action comedy, heavily influenced by Stephen Chow, Tony Jaa and Sammo Hung, Hats off to them for making entertainment for the working class instead of college students. One can only hope we'll see a new wave for Vietnamese cinema. Be sure to stay…
RealJohnGraceFeb 3, 2026It was a fun cheesy action movie, I loved it. Would totally recommend if you are just looking for something fun. Has some great action scenes
Zachary798Feb 3, 2026More like a classic HK Lunar New Year action-comedy than any movie I’ve yet seen out of Southeast Asia, where the jokes are silly, the sound effects cartoonishly goofy, and the fights as spectacular as they are almost entirely bloodless. Reviewed as part of InRO's third…

This movie was great fun! a very hong kong inspired vietnamese action movie with that same type of slapstick comedy. The action was amazing especially since the producer mentioned they were working on a pretty tight budget. The story left more to be desired but then again…
LilShrimpDNNFeb 3, 2026what a delight! tons of great action and a charming cast. highly recommend for any fan of martial arts cinema.
ronFeb 1, 2026Really fun, and I know I say this about every movie, but it could have used more of the lesbian who does cool bike stunts
