Summary: Great. Yuen Woo-Ping in top form
Review: The Iron Monkey is one part Robin Hood, one part Batman, and all kick butt Chinese folk hero. Iron Monkey boasts all the elaborate fight sequences one comes to expect from Woo-Ping, and he does not disappoint. His use of wirework and tricky, outlandish choreography rarely looks clumsy and is smooth and impressive here, particularly when Iron Monkey is fighting. The movie moves well, never drags, and a few of the humorous gags provide a good chuckle or two without, as Woo-Ping can sometimes do, stretching the humor for too long. Highly Recommended. Only able to find the dubbed version to watch (subtitles are always preferred), I found the dubbing to be tolerable and better than most. Tai Seng also has abetter copy than I expected from them. For video, its one of the better HK tranfers I've seen.

Summary: The Iron Monkey, Hero Of The Rooftops
Review: Let's Start with Yuen Woo Ping, the director. Here's a guy who takes the Once Upon A Time In China series... of which He directed and makes a prequel based on the Robin Hood of China... The Iron Monkey. The two main actors, and not to mention the young Wong Fei Hung are better then I thought. The opening made me think this was going to be a terrible movie... how The Iron Monkey bounced on peoples heads... but it's only the opening. Although there is wire work... it's done pretty well. A fair amount of fight scenes and a pretty good story. I had to own it. It fits my taste and I love a good superhero flick. This movie is fun to watch.

Summary: The best of Hong Kong martial arts
Review: This is simply the best of the historical martial arts films to come out of Hong Kong in the 1990s. If you are interested in Hong Kong pop cinema and are looking for a place to start, this is the film. The plot is accessible, the acting very good, and the action amazing. Oddly enough, Iron Monkey wasn't a great success when it was released in Hong Kong in 1993. Perhaps it was seen as playing on the success of the Once Upon a Time in China films, as Monkey presents the classic hero Wong Fei-hung as a young boy. Regardless, this is more than equal to the best of the Once Upon a Time series.

Wong Fei Hong, is a young boy in this movie and (Donnie Yen) plays his father now you we see why Wong is so strict. If you love fighting from beginnig to end this is the movie

Summary: Yuen Woo Ping Knows How to Direct Great Martial Arts Films
Review: The Iron Monkey is evidence why the martial arts choreography in The Matrix thrilled the American audience. Director Yuen Woo-Ping delivers an impressive punch with this 1993 film which features an easy-to-follow storyline, good acting, stylish cinematography, and amazing fight scenes. Highlighted in this film is actor Yu Rong-Guang whose acrobatic and hand-to-hand combat skills are at their best. The inclusion of the legendary character Wong Fei-Hung (depicted in this movie as a child) makes this movie appealing to the younger viewers as well. All in all, the Iron Monkey is a great film and, perhaps, deserves a big screen showing here in the U.S. Until that happens, whether you buy or rent this film, watching it would definitely be time well spent.

Summary: Get it now
Review: This film is great. The fight scenes are awesome. I especially like the young boy in the film. Donnie yen is a great martial artist, though he does not have the presence of jet li. Definitely get this film if you love martial arts. The story line is different to the revenge storys that most films have. Yu Rong Guang had great presence as well and is a good actor. Thats my opinion anyway. And I have seen a lot of martial arts films. This review is of the dvd version.

Summary: best kung fu flick ever
Review: this is probably one of the best kung fu flicks ever, great story great acting, donnie yen is superb...the way he kicks...gosh he's a kicker when jet li is a puncher. donnie's kicks are just beautiful to watch becuz it looks more neat and professional...and he did take taekwondo which helps explain why his kicks are so powerful. and for ur info...this is a donnie yen flick NOT jet li...gosh i dont know how many times i've heard that "great jet li movie"...for crying out loud jet li wasn't even in it...give donnie yen some props now...he deserves it for someone who's just as good as jet li. i love watching jet li punch but i also love watching donnie yen kick.

Summary: The dopest wire-work I've ever seen!!!
Review: I saw this in '95 on the USS Detroit, a boot legged version from NYC. It was a bit shaky but it was the phattest martial arts flick I've ever seen. A bit unbelievable, of course, but hey, that's what makes it exciting.
