A great start with fast and gory action

I know this film has it's fans and is possible I was just not in the mood, but I don't think so. A great start with fast and gory action that includes all manner of weapons two deaths and a guy cut in half with a saw whilst he is strapped to a table. All within the first five minutes. There is also a gory and well shot ending, but in between…fighting….slapstick comedy…oh and a 'cool' guy with a hat and a cigarette. I am never very good with Chinese humour, just a little broad for me and the endless below par kung-fu fighting…aagh! It looks OK, in fact it looks as if quite a lot was spent on it and there is a very large cast, but oh dear, no not for me.
