I disagree with most of the reviews. I did not enjoy this film and I am a kung fu fanatic. At the end of the movie I found myself asking....is that it? How can this movie be classified as one of the greatest kung fu movies ever and inspired Crouching Tiger???? The fighting and acting was so-so. The wire work? What wire work? If you want to see a good kung fu movie see: The Victom, Drunken Master, Iron Monkey, Fist Of White Lotus, Enter The Dragon, Tai Chi Warriar, The Invincible Armor, Snake In The Monkeys Shadow, Jet Li Legend, Fearless Hyena, Drunken Master 2, Thundering Mantis, So Close, Chocolate, Hero, Ong Bak 1 & 2, The Protector, Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon, House of Flying Daggers, Azumi and a large number of Jet Li or Jackie Chan movies. These movies will give you you moneys worth of excellent fight scenes, action and entertainment. Don't waste your money on a drink.
