Summary: One of my favorite Jet Li movies!!!
Review: This is an excellent movie and one of my favorites from Jet Li. My other all-time favorites are Fist of Legend (original version, not the "Americanized" DVD) and Kung Fu Cult Master. For all serious Jet Li fans of the classic Chinese era, this one is a must!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A good movie, but a rushed disk
Review: This movie is not a masterpiece, but it is a good guilty pleasure. I like seeing a half-rotten man driving in a little car that looks like it was made from tin foil. Actually this movie is pretty good. Jet Li fights mainly with a spear that seems to do everything possible. The kids fight and look really cute. And yes, even the rotting man and his car have a strange appeal. What you should know about this disk is that it was obviously taken from a VHS copy and put onto DVD. The video quality is pretty bad. But really the worst part is the subtitles. There are hard subtitles that cannot be removed. In addition there are Chinese subtitles also on the screen. IF you are used to the VHS Jet Li movies you also know of the other problems with this: they are really small and tend to go off the edge of the screen. But if you are used to Jet Li movies, you can deal with these errors. I just with the publisher used the advantages of the DVD format more.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: This movie is great!
Review: I saw this film last year on the International Channel. At first it was distracting trying to follow the curvy plot while reading the subtitles which were cut off on the left and right (is widescreen version of this available on VHS?) but the movie is great. I liked the comedy and the action scenes were very fun. This genre is more fantasy based than reality but it was still great. Whoever bad mouthed Chuck Norris needs to shut up. Chuck Norris became a star because he was a phenomenal talent in karate and he is a decent actor. Some of his films are great. "The Octagon" and "Good Guys Wear Black" are nice.

Summary: Great Story and fighting
Review: The fight scenes in this movie from beginning and close to the end were incredible. Jet and boy in this movie were great. Thinking beginning of this movie will get your attention, but the very end gets a little crazy I won't spoil it. I recommend getting the dub version, because a lot is going on and it will be hard to follow.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Could Have Been Better
Review: This is one that started out looking like it would be a great movie but then slipped into eternal silliness,while the fights are nothing to be laughed at, with great choreography they can't make up for all the stupid characters (other than the kid and jet of course)who put a damper on the movie.If you just want to see a few good fights than by all means this is a good purchase,but if your looking for more than that then look else where.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Unrealistic Karate guy fighting, really poor!
Review: This movie reeked in the realm of reality! Jet Lee is a poor martial artists! Trust me, I'm a second degree black belt and this movie Karate techniques are not accurate at all. Save your money and watch Enter The Dragon, a real Karate movie with a Karate expert, Bruce Lee!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: No Nonsense!
Review: No Shadow Kick! No really, NO SHADOW KICK! Hehe. Good movie with a little kid who you can see has been studying with Jet. Martial arts performances are top notch by both and their team makes both a believable and UNREAL! Definately worth the money, but don't trust the translations!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Hope you're familiar with the Wuxia genre
Review: If you are not familiar with the wuxia novel genre then this movie is going to seem confusing, silly, and unbelievable. Wuxia never translates well into Western culture upon it's first encounter. If you do like Wuxia then this is a must see. The superhuman aspects and the crazy martial arts of Wuxia are demonstrated perfectly. The little boy Tze Miu is amazing! He almost steals the show! Look for a more stoic no-nonsense Jet Li, closer to his Bodyguard from Beijing character than Fong Sai Yuk.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This Is My Favorite Movie
Review: Take this movie for what it is ENTERAINMENT. Everyone who reveiwed this movie is acting like it was made as a martial arts instructional video. This movie is great lots of action, it was funny, but to top it all off Jet & Tze are so cute together. Please watch this movie without over analyzing it.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Not a good Jet Li movie.
Review: Iv'e seen all of Jet's movies. This is one of the worst. Personally I dont like seeing people do supernatural things {like flyimg} when they are fighting. Some parts of the movie were Ok, but overall I found it weak. I mean Jet Li is a really great martial artists and my favorite, but this movie was pretty dumb and very unrealistic. Get Fist Of Legend, that was good.... Oh, by the way,take it from a REAL martial artist THERE IS NO KARATE IN THIS MOVIE, NOR DID BRUCE LEE TRAIN KARATE...IT IS KUNG FU!!! THE ORIGINATOR OF ALL ASIAN MARTIAL ARTS....Learn the truth, read the books, do your homework...
