      Almar Haflidason BBC.com A highly entertaining kung fu flick. Rated: 4/5 Jan 1, 2000 Full Review Joey O'Bryan Austin Chronicle All in all, this is an entertainingly stupid action comedy that never takes itself too seriously but fails to reach either the same level of excitement as Hark's Wong Fei-hung series. Rated: 2.5/5 Jan 1, 2000 Full Review TV Guide Hardly a masterpiece, the film does work as both a genre tribute and a genre parody, stuffed with gimmicky and patently unrealistic action sequences making extensive use of wires and physical effects, and interspersed with scenes of broad comedy. Rated: 3/4 Jul 28, 2008 Full Review John Esther Pasadena Weekly Rated: 2/5 Sep 30, 2005 Full Review Emanuel Levy EmanuelLevy.Com Rated: 3/5 Sep 25, 2005 Full Review Oz eFilmCritic.com If you spot this one on the video store racks, by all means give it your dollar and a few hours of attention.

      Audience Member Cliche with unrealistic martial arts Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/15/23 Full Review Audience Member good period actioner Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Review: I quite enjoyed this funny authentic movie about a monk whose investigating the mysterious disappearance of girls in his village. With the help of some of the people in his Kung Fu class and a brothel owner, don't ask, they find out that there is much more going on in there village then they expected. For a person that doesn't like subtitles, I actually didn't mind reading the well put together script which was witty and full of twists and turns. It's not very often that you see Buddha monks living next to a brothel in a authentic oriental movie and the different characters made the film funny and a joy to watch. Once again, the flying fighting scenes spoil the action, but after watching a few Jet Li movies, I'm kind of getting use to it now. Enjoyable! Round-Up: One of the things that made me laugh in this film was when they were fighting and naming the styles that they were using. It really reminded me of the old Kung Fu movies that I used to watch when I was young. I didn't get the point of the corrupt police officer who kept on laughing all of the time or why they were feeding people a deaf drug but maybe I missed some of the plot whilst reading the subtitles. Anyway, it's definitely worth a watch if your into movies in this genre. Budget: N/A Worldwide Gross: HK$18million I recommend this movie to people who are into their Jet Li movies about a Buddha monk whose investigating the mysterious disappearance of girls in his village. 6/10 Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/18/23 Full Review Audience Member Absolutely loved this parody of the "Once Upon a Time in China" films! It is definitely in the same league as the Hark's Wong Fei-hung series but does contain stronger elements of violence than the original, which I personally preferred! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/16/23 Full Review Audience Member 92% This is Jet Li returning as Wong Fei- hung from the Once upon a time in China series, but in fact this film is better than any of those films. The action scenes are simply superb, I mean the sequence where Jet Li( as the chicken) defeats the millipede. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/09/23 Full Review Audience Member Following three successful Wong Fei-hung pictures that helped revitalize Hong Kong's gung fu cinema output Jet Li walked away from the "Once Upon a Time in China" series over professional disputes with writer/producer/director Tsui Hark. Not surprisingly, Wong Jing lay in wait. Here, Wong plays almost anything he can for laughs, even women abducted by members of The Boxer Rebellion and sold into prostitution. Wong hired sibling action choreographers Yuen Wo-ping and Yuen Cheung-yan to ramp up the wirework and under-cranking to add an extra touch of lunacy before risking Li's career by having him appear in a rooster costume, which to this day is a sore subject with Li's minions. Truthfully, as a parody of the immensely popular "Once Upon a Time in China" series that sees Jet Li poking fun at the role that made him a star "Last Hero in China" works.
