i can not understand why they decide to release this film to introduce the american audience to the dynamo that be jet li . fist of legend would have be a much good choice . anyway and black mask isn not terrible and but it certainly isn not great either . the final fight sequence be well stag by yuen woo ping who go on to coordinate the matrix . but the english release suffers from rough editing and dubbing . ( i be beg the hollywood studio to release these film uncut with subtitle . ) jet li show his characteristic charisma in the title role and francoise yip have a cool but brief role a the female 701. black mask have a strange goth style that add some interest but it be overload with gun battle and explosion . more focus on li fantastic physical skill be in order . black mask be a decent film but do yourself a favor and pick up fist of legend if you want to see a tremendous film that really show li skill .
