Great film to get kids (who are old enough to read subs) into classic martial arts movies. Yes, you can see the wires, and the ice is clearly clingfilm but it has a great story, fantastic acting and very very funny.

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

Frenetic, relentless and irreverent, with chaotic action reigning over storytelling.

The narrative moves at such break-neck speed and hits you with such a rapid succession of gags that you're soon too dizzy to fuss over the details.
