Summary: One of Jet's funniest
Review: Deadly China Hero is different from his other Wong Fei Kung movies. You will probably never find him dressed up like a chicken in a bright red outfit again. He is so cute in it. How he brings a new look and feeling to this character is hilarious. He is an all around actor and in this movie he proves just how good he is. A must see.

Summary: Chopped Version of Last Hero In China
Review: I agree with Michael Van about the clipped version " Deadly China Hero" as I own "Last Hero in China" which is the movie in its orginal presentation and with Subtitles. This is actually, if placed in order of sequences by year, the Fourth "Once Upon a Time in China" series before OUATIC IV/V came out. Nonetheless, you have to watch this movie as it has, as usual, great martial art scenes. I own all but OUATIC IV and most of Jet Li's DVD's that are available. The 6th version of OUATIC is "Once upon a Time in China and America" also starring Jet Li. Though this may be the 4th Jet Li did as Wong Fei-Hung, you do not have to see the three previous OUATIC's. Order is not important with this version of Wong Fei-Hung but the tales of this Martial Artist (a real actual Chinese Hero) is. Get this DVD and try to get "Last Hero in China" also. In fact, get every Jet Li movie made. You will not be dissappointed. This man is our replacement for Bruce Lee.

Summary: JET LI V.S. gordon lui what more could you want?
Review: JET li stars in this powerful movie as he portrays chinese folk hero WONG FEI HUNG. THis movie is totally different from the other movies in the Once upon a time in china series. Some of the most memorable scenes from the movie are when Li battles "shaolin masta killa" Gordon Lui. The other great part in this movie is when Li dresses up like a chicken and battles a giant centipede. The end is still the best part when Li breaks his toes he's forced to get drunk and uses the Drunken style to win the final battle. One of Li's finest!!!!!!!!!!

Summary: Warning: Clip Job - Search out the Original
Review: The other user comments are technically correct. The film is great... in its original version. "Deadly China Hero," however, is a clipped version of the film "Last Hero of China." I highly recommend the original film instead of this one, which cuts out several crucial scenes and important subplots. There's no reason to settle for this hacked-up version.

Summary: You don't want this version!
Review: When I first put this DVD in I noticed that they cut away the opening, then the movie starts and I can't believe my eyes as the quality of the DVD is even lower than my VCD version, this is just frustrating to watch. The subtitle cannot be change or removed since it is fixed onto the movie, the subtitle is in chinese and english use at the same time, the quality of the image is so below par that the subtitle at times can't even be read. Another thing is the audio, you can't switch between Cantonese and Mandarin like on my VCD, yes this too was fixed to cantonese only. There is no extra features, you might as well buy a VHS tape, which would probably be an improvement on the picture quality. It does look like they tranfer this movie from an overused VHS tape with no other intention then to sell it to unsuspecting "customers"(read victims).

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Strange spoof
Review: Whoever produced this movie tried hard to spoof the original Once Upon a Time in China series. I'm honestly surprised that Jet even took this role. Nonetheless, this film does have its interesting moments. The guest appearance by Gordon Liu is also a treat for genre fans.
