-The police force was horrible. They knew the next targets but couldn't put any type of surveillance on them before Fung-Yu-Sau got to them?

-Why was Sinn Ying even there. The police actually allowed her to get to a killer.....that they couldn't find. She almost got herself killed. Why was she even trying to fight a man of his skill. Did she forget he had already killed the top martial artist in the city? HahouMo is to blame, too. He only did all of this to protect her, yet there she was, about to die.

-The movie set fight didn't make sense. One lone guy walks on a set and gets everyone to leave? I guess no one thought to call the police after Fun-Yu-Sau stabbed someone in the shoulder? They just decided to scatter like roaches.

But I did really like this movie. It was enjoyable. Madam Inspector was great. She pretty hot. And Baoqiang Wang did a really great job. His fighting and facial expressions were the best part of the movie.

A movie worth watching.

1. Actually the cops had no solid leads in the beginning until Hahou Mo came into the picture and assisted them. By then, the killer was already ahead of them.

2. Hahou's wife wanted to keep his man safe by any means necessary, going as far as to dig into the killer and his motive of killing top kung fu masters or even sacrificing herself. The character isn't the typical "flower vase" (being casted in film to look pretty and have overly dramatic scenes) role Hong Kong actresses normally are casted in. Hahou actually prevented her from going before being insisted by the cops so he's not to blame at all. This allowed her to take action on her own.

3. It was implied. But like I said, the killer was always ahead of the cops.
