    This is unintentionally funny at times, due to the dubbing and dialog, but it's still a very fun martial arts film, that i enjoyed, the fight scenes were fantastic! All the characters are cool, and the story, is pretty good as well, plus Jet Li is simply amazing in this. It's ext...( read more)remely violent at times, and the fight scenes were very brutal and realistic, however it does not take itself too seriously, plus the opening was great, and very memorable! Jerry Trimble is way cool, as the main villain, and is one fantastic martial artist, and I thought the finale was really cool, with some wicked stunts, plus the ending is very funny! Crystal Kwok is cute, and did fine with what she had to do, and also had great chemistry with Jet.

    Absolutely horrible movie all around. Campy chinese acting the entire time with an extremely lame villain. Nothing says big baddie like a mullet.

    I was suprised with this film looking at the cover i thought it was going to be serious but it turned out to be one of Jet Li's greatest fimls, it had me crying with laughter from the start with some awesome fight scenes, all on all a fantastic film well worth a watch.

    The Fighting in this movie is amazing. It is Jet Li's best since there are no computer effects to make it fake. He seems in his prime in this movie and shows it through his fighting technique. As a movie, it is crap; no real plot and terrible script work but if you're into martia...( read more)l arts and actually watch these movies merely for the fights, you will love it.

    a nice surprise. Basically it's a Jackie Chan film, and a good one at that. This English dub is atrociously acted and cut, but that's all I got to go on, so...3 stars for extremely good, non-fantasy fighting.
