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 See more 03/13/2014 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! See more 05/02/2013 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. See more 11/03/2012 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. See more Read all reviews
