I love Hong Kong Flix!


I love these kind of movies. But this was way to silly. The main villians were so stupid, and why is Billy Chow in this movie? He had no reason to be in this movie.

Sure he did, he was fast and .... I dunno, it's a name, isn't it, lol. I quite liked him in it. Maybe he just wanted a job so he wouldn't get rusty. If he had a bigger part he would have taken some shine from the main character.

Kung fu movies are like porn. There's 1 on 1, then 2 on 1, then a group scene...

The original dialogue seems to be in Mandarin. One of those HK-Mainland collaboration efforts I guess.

Speaking of Billy Chow, he must have refused to shave his forehead. Maybe he had to make another movie or something. If he sported that hair during the Qing Dynasty in real life, he would have been executed for treason for not wearing the Manchu hair style.

Great flick. I wonder why Jacky Wu haven't had more success in the west considering his undeniable talent and charisma. Same for the sexy Christy Chung. Apparently Jacky Wu seems is not interested on working in western productions, but he could be the new Jackie Chan, for sure. He is still kinda young (35).
