About
Pick it up if you want fast-paced kung fu entertainment with plenty of laughs and creative fights; Not for you if you dislike over-the-top martial arts, rely heavily on dubbing, or prefer grounded realism like Once Upon a Time in China II or Hero.
Pros: comedy mixed well; many standout fights; colorful, fun tone | Cons: confused plot at times; dubbing complaints; wirework realism doubts
