PlOT
The story in this movie is kind of weird. It’s like they are making it up as they go along, but it’s surprisingly enjoyable a lot of the time. Cynthia Khan plays a cop and Anthony Wong plays a P.I., and they team up to stop a group of killers.
thoughts on the movie
The movie isn’t that great or anything, but most hardcore HK cinema fans will like it. And did I mention that Kara Hui is in the cast? I’ll get to that a little later…
was it funny?
Pretty funny at times. Anthony Wong’s character has a girlfriend and she is hilarious.
How was the Action?
The best fight is at the start, and it’s pretty awesome. Fast choreography and some cool moves. The camera angles and editing are superb. The action is done by the Yuen Clan, so that’s no surprise. There’s barely any fighting until the finale comes, and it’s a good long final fight. Other than the first fight and the final fight, the only other one to talk about is Anthony Wong’s scene. He has a showdown with one of the killers, and performs the fight scene very well. There’s a lot of stunt doubling for acrobatic type kicks, but it looks like pretty much all of the weapon stuff is done by Wong, and it’s a really good fight scene.
Standout performance(s)
Yau Gin Gwok, the hero in South Shaolin Master, and the main Chinese villain in Once Upon a Time in China. It was nice to see him in action again since he doesn’t really do any fighting in Once Upon a Time in China. His fighting skills are very very good, and he has a great face for a villain.
