Audience Member Both my favorite chinese characters Fong Sai Yuk and Hong Hei Kwun ever played by Jet Li and now they both meet up and fight with the Government in hell who could use painting to kill people? Intense fight sequence and Director Ringo Lam's unique direction is certainly the main-force.A bit too much on Jokes and romance,balanced it,I'm sure a better result will come since the atmosphere is dark enough already.Sadly,this is the only martial arts film that Director Ringo directs,he should sign to direct more films like this. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/12/23 Full Review Audience Member Fantastic mix of gore and martial arts. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Audience Member Another surprisingly well-done and unknown action masterpiece of Hong Kong. Produced by Hark Tsui and directed by Ringo Lam. Featuring Sai-Yuk Fong, which is the character Jet Li played in "The Legend" (1993), as the hero. It describes the battle between survivors of Shaolin Temple and the local ruler in a temple, which is full of sexuality, violence, blood, and many other things which emotionally grabs audiences' interests. Even though there is no famous actors in the film, Lam's technique of making action film like a (good) Japanese comic book is in full force here as in his "Full Contact" (1992). It sometimes looks really absurd, but still, it is the film which has all the attractions of Hong Kong action films. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review Audience Member La totale : des Mandchous mechants, du bouddhisme esoterique, Shaolin, une secte heterodoxe, de l'humour gras, des bastons choregraphiees de folie, des scenes limite horreur, d'autres limite categorie III.... un regal pour les amateurs de cinema hongkongais. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/10/23 Full Review Audience Member One of the best martial arts films EVER made. Ringo Lam at his finest. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Audience Member Fung Sai Yuk kicks Ass just as Wong Fei Hung Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/03/23 Full Review Read all reviews
