Storyline

Two rivaling families live on opposite sides of a river. One of them practices Shaolin kung fu and has only sons, while the other has only daughters and practices the Wu-Tang sword. The father of the Wu-Tang family is so paranoid about the Shaolin kids stealing his sword style (besides, he wants a son to teach it to, and the closest thing he has is a lesbian daughter) that he is taken off guard when some real bad guys come along to kill his family, but the Shaolin family helps them out. All the while, everyone is desperately trying to get the lesbian girl to marry Jet Li.

User Reviews

Perhaps the worst thing Jet Li has ever done.

Sweet mother of pearl. This movie was quite awful. Slow early, slow in the middle, Great at the end. A bit of humor here and there, mostly related to buttocks and testicles. The final fight scene was sufficently over-the-top for my tastes, but I'd say it's not even worth renting. If you do rent, fast forward to 11 minutes before the end of the tape, and you get pretty much all the action right then and there. Of particular intrest is the guy with a spear being pushed into his neck until a slingshot comes in....
