Great Action movie!

This is another great martial arts movie about legendary folk hero Wong Fei Hong!It's much lower budget than Jet Li's 'Once Upon A Time In China' movies, but is suprisingly good, even better, more realistic action than the once upon a time in china series! Ok , so it is essentially copying the Jet Li films but the guy who plays Wong Fei Hong (Wang Kwan) is a very good martial artist (though he's not as good an actor as Jet!). The main attractions here are Master Eleven (Ji, Chun Hua, the bad guy from from Fong Sai Yuk 2)and the guy who plays Leung Foon! (Taam Chui) With out a doubt these two are very talented performers!Their martial arts skills are unmatched and in particular, i have to say Taam Chui is probably the most talented martial artist i have ever seen!(he puts the likes of Jet Li, Chui Man Cheuk and Donnie yen to shame!)His kicking skills are unbelieveable and there are almost no wires used in the fights!Worth checking out just for Taam Chui(though his talent is usually wasted in this film he gets to show at least some of his awesome skill!).The only films with better action than this are probably 'The Legend of Fong Sai Yuk' and 'Heroes among Heroes'. This ranks among the best i've seen, truly an undiscovered classic of the genre!A must see for Kung- Fu fight fans!
