The story and directing.


I admit that the fight scenes were quite slpendid to look at, but seriously the telling of the story was badly done, for some reason the introduction, plot came along too fast pased which didn't flow right.

Yeah, it moves pretty fast, but I got everything. The only part that confused me was the fight scene with Yaohua, Butterfly, and Han Long, so I had to rewind, but I think that more a fault of the erratic camera work than anything.

Maybe it's because I watched this right after Tai Chi Zero (incredibly crazy cartoony plot that jumps around), but it didn't find it that hastily paced.

Although they could've easily stretched the plot out into 2 films or at least tacked on a couple scenes to better develop characters.

Explain this to me please.

After Jia San was arrested and the copper coin mint was recovered, there was a scene where a guy acts as though the mint was fake (this is confirmed by the Heavenly Constable people), then the guy was threatened into silence.

What was the importance of this? Does this mean that the real mint is still missing, and therefore fake currency will continue to circulate? If that is the case, then it wouldn't take long for people to figure out anyway, and the evil dude will blow his cover.

I.e., if the recovered mint was fake, why doesn't he say anything?

YEs the mint was false and more fake coins were in the streets . Diud you watch till the end for you should have seen your answers. The Master (the guy in red) wanted the minister to say it was real so the devision 6 people would not look into it anymore .

what doesn't kill you hasn't been done properly.
