very good despite the overdub
Believe it or not, this was the movie that introduced me to Jet Li. I was immediately hooked. I’ve read reviews that discredit the dub into English, but I found it easy to overlook this — in fact, I found it to be somewhat hilarious. This film has all the makings of a great movie. There are no sub-plots that do not get resolved. The servant who always bawls whenever Jet Li’s character get’s set to go away for a minute or two is downright hilarious. That’s one of the unique things about this movie: with so much drama they managed to make a hilarious movie, as well. As usual, the kung fu is extraordinary. In particular, there are a few scenes in which the opponents face off and the camera takes a moment to pause and let the viewer see the poses from a brilliant perspective. This will always be one of my favorite Chinese films.
Funny, Well Written, Nice Range of Fight Scenes
I had the privilege of watching this movie at the local theater recently and this is easily one of the top five Jet Li films of all time. The movie incorporates, comedy, action, a well-written plot, and good old gender-bending fun. There is a slight bit of gore in the beginning, but after that it’s typical light hearted HK kung-fu action.This movie also includes one of the most memorable martial arts fight scenes which takes place in part on the heads of the audience. Fun for all ages and a breath of fresh air from Western cinema.
