It starts with the helpful narrator explaining the history of the story and introducing the actors. Next there is an extended scene in a large teahouse.
I watched this movie about seven years ago and did not like it. I wanted an Angela Mao movie and she had a limited part here. Plus she dies in a not so good fight. With an open mind I watched it again and I feel a little better.
The extended scene in the tea house has every cliché and seems to last forever. On with the story, please. At about the 45 minute mark, and still in the tea house, Angela seems to do a somersault over the bar but it is really a wipe. The stunt man dressed as her passes behind the wall, stops, and Angela steps out (without a hair out of place).
On the second view I rate this as just average. I felt it would have been above average if about twenty minutes was cut.
