Jet Li propelled martial arts action comedy craziness
19 July 2009 | by (United Kingdom) – See all my reviews

Like The Evil Cult, this one is directed by Wong Jing and starring Jet Li. Unlike that film though this is a more grounded affair, not that it doesn't contain a good portion of kookiness but there is some fine martial arts as well. Expertly choreographed by the great Yuen Woo Ping there is a terrific mixture of wire fu and more grounded work, the fights are splendidly put together, at turns amusing, crunching and marvellously kinetic. Jet Li plays Wong Fei Hung, but this film is a far cry from the serious minded Once Upon A Time In China series. Instead we get Wong Jings trademark thrilling frivolity, as Master Fei Hung and his students move in next to a brothel and discover a conspiracy of evil monks selling women into slavery. The pacing is fast and whilst the film is never especially funny, there's nothing too groan worthy in there and a few solid laughs can be had from the subtitles, which I suspect were not proof read for accuracy or coherence. For example, at one point this line is uttered: "My cousin can be claimed as foreigner, in fact a banana". Very strange. Anyways, this isn't setting out to be anything worthy or intellectual and in its easygoing way its very fine entertainment. Jet Li is as charming as ever, both a sublime fighter and an entertaining actor, and there are also good turns from veterans Leung Ka Yan and Gordon Liu. Also very handy is the abundance of beautiful women, from Sharla Cheung to Anita Yuen. The music is familiar from various other Hong Kong films but bustles along in fine rousing style. Happily, though there is no shortage of fight scenes the plot of the film is pretty interesting, it moves along and has enough turns and intrigue to be exciting stuff. And even if the plot doesn't grab, well its worth noting that there is a scene with Jet Li as an iron rooster, battling a centipede sent to disrupt a lion dance. Its as barmy and brilliant as it sounds and one of the films highlights. Altogether this may not be one of the true classics of martial arts cinema, but its so wonderfully entertaining that its hard to care about the dafter moments. If you can set aside prejudices against a bit of silliness (and really this is no sillier than any other film made by Wong Jing) then this is highly recommended. Quality stuff.
