Fist of the Red Dragon

Rating:
Summary: Trainspotting meets Dragon Inn?????
Review: This movie was definitely missing something, and no I'm not talking about the baby crawling across the ceiling.

I think an earlier reviewer hit the nail on the head:

"Wong FE Hong(should have been played by Jet Li)"

It was missing that one extra star. The guy playing Wong FE Hong just wasn't that good. It was obvious in the medical scenes that he just wasn't as good an actor as Jet Li.

Also, that whole addicted to opium, fighting off the addiction, etc, etc was painful to watch, what horrible acting/directing. The relationship between the Dad and Sister In-law was fantastic though. That acting/directing relationship was done really well.

The last fighting sequence made the whole movie worth watching. There is a little bit splashed here and there to keep you interested, the story is average at best, but the last fighting scenes are great.

This movie is average as a whole, worth renting not buying, but definetly worth seeing. Anyone giving this movie 5 stars bought the movie b4 seeing it, so they're bias. But watch this movie for sure, then make your decision.

Summary: Potential, but...
Review: Woo Ping really can't direct. I absolutely love his fight choreography, but this is one awful movie. I just wasn't able to get past the terrible sound quality, acting, and sheerly baffling moments in the script. Do yourself a favor and don't see this one.
