Customer Reviews

Wo ping masterpiece
Don't pay any attention to the reviews that say that this is yuen wo ping's worst movie. I'ts actually one of his best. Don't get me wrong though, this movie doesn't have the greatest plot and what the subtitles say is sometimes(hopefully) not what the actors are actually saying. But, anyone who watches Yuen Woo Ping's movies should know that they're all about the fight scenes. Insane superhuman lightning fast fight scenes. This is where this movie truly shines. Nobody does fight scenes as well as woo ping. I recommend this or any yuen woo ping directed movie to anyone interested in hong kong martial arts. Anyone looking for a great story may be disapointed. But for me the fight scenes more than made up for this err.

Yuen Woo Ping Does It Again
This movie is an excellent and effective combination of comedy, martial arts mastery, likable characters, and rapid-fire action. Although it lacked a solid story--self-taught Tai Chi fighter helping Chinese revolutionaries dressed in English attire butting heads with traditionally clad Chinese militia in cohorts with opium-smuggling English citizens--the well positioned, amazingly choreographed fight scenes are well worth the purchase. Jacky Wu is a fresh face in the world of Hong Kong martial arts movies of today. With his acting and martial arts talent--highly evident in this movie--he is sure to go far.

Excellent film one of the best
This film has alot of martial arts and a story that is not like the other martial arts film, the story keeps you interested and the jokes and comedy are genuinely funny. Buy this film if you like martial arts.
