The good fight scenes appear towards the end..actually not just "good"--they are pretty amazing. Story drags during the first part with numerous attempts at comedy (mostly slapstick). Fight scenes make it worthwhile to go through with it though..at least for me. I guess you just have to watch it to find out. Not everyone's preferences are the same anyway.:)

Not a great deal of martial arts in this movie at all. A few scenes here and there, incl. the climax. But these actors are actors first, and martial artists as an add-on; none of them are real experts. The few fight scenes are pretty good, but not very spectacular, and there are not enough of them. They spice the movie up a little bit, but there's not getting away from the fact that this is a very mediocre movie with silly and vulgar humor.
