I think it's an excellent one; It has romance, it has funny scenes & it's dramatic at the same time. I consider this one as the best 'Wu Xia' movie I've seen.

see it it is a superb mixture of stunning action sequences and humourus comedy that will make you a laugh for days

Yup,a good movie.Some nice locations and a nice build up to the final showdown,don't expect a hollywood budget though.

This is an entertaining movie with some good special effects, but I'd rent it first if you can. Typical Wong Jing fare, with a lot of low-brow humor thrown in. I think Nick Cheung steals the movie, and he really has the most camera time along with Vicki Zhao Wei. Of course, you need to have Andy Lau and Ekin Cheng headline, since they are the bigger names. It's not on my top HK film list, but it's entertaining enough.

i mistakenly rented this thinking that it was the sister project to 2LDK. i've been having real bad luck recently with kung-fu flicks. i normally watch movies to the end, even if i dislike them, but The Duel and Volcano High were just too boring and annoying for me to enjoy. i hope there aren't many more of this genre riding the coat-tales of stuff like Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon (which wasn't that amazing in my opinion, either).

I really enjoyed The Duel.

It was actually the first movie I saw that got me hooked into Hong Kong cinema and I've never looked back since!
