Trivia

In the scene where Ah So, Leung Fu and Mass Tar Wong attack the temple, Mass Tar Wong attacks a perverted monk on behalf of Wong Fei-Hung, Miss Nine and Beggar So. When asked by the perverted monk who Beggar So is, Mass Tar Wong says he doesn't know. Beggar So was originally one of the Ten Tigers of Canton along with Wong Kei-Ying and he is often associated with the Chinese fighting form "Drunken Boxing".

So: [crying because Wong has to leave] Master, I'm so sorry...
Wong Fei-hung: You're a man. Stop crying!
So: [nods to Mass Tar Wong] He's crying too.
Wong Fei-hung: [looks at Mass Tar Wong, who is crying comically] He's different. He's not a man.

User Reviews

Humour adds spice to the too-serious violence

Refreshing Chinese style humour, new to me, worth dozens of predictable Hollywood "blockbusters", because this is something we don' see everyday. I'm ignorant about kung-fu movies, but happy to see something new. I read a review that criticised the ending. That is very strange because at the end the good fighting scenes and the refreshing absurdities are married.

Compared with recent Jackie Chan movies, the makers of this movie seem to have some pride. The choreography is artistic and both the added music and the music that comes with the plot work well. I don't think the producers said "Let's make another Jet Li movie."
