User Reviews

competent at best

ej's kung-fu capsule review for films of the chop-socky old-school -

1. basic plot type - historical; clan vs. clan; revenge; some weapons; some magic 'fu; some political intrigue; broken-hearted romance.

2. plot construction - poor; confused and listless.

3. dramatic - tries to be.

4. funny - not at all.

5. dialog - poor.

6. cast performance - just so-so.

7. crew performance - competent at best.

8. amount of fighting - lots.

9. quality of fighting - good.

10. any special cast or crew notes - none.

11. big positive - good fights.

12. big negative - two annoying child-actors.

bottom-line - who should see this movie - only a kung-fu cultist with a Saturday afternoon to waste.
