“The Paper Tigers is crafted with a sense of passion that can only come from a filmmaker who is eager to express their own intimate creativity. Which is impressive for a feature film debut.” – Wilson Kwong, Film Inquiry

“A rare contemporary martial arts film with the traditional structure found in classic Shaw Brothers films. I was not expecting it to be so funny. Very funny. If you’re looking to pass along your love of martial arts to young ones keep an eye out for it.” – Andrew Mack, ScreenAnarchy

 “The Paper Tigers is a charming and heartfelt throwback to the martial arts films that were more about the spirit of said art and not just about the combat within; with great fight scenes, genial comedy, a nostalgic old-school and a great message.” – Harris Dang, Their Own League
