About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want nonstop kung fu action mixed with goofy slapstick and a simple training-story structure, similar to Snake in the Eagle's Shadow; Not for you if broad, silly comedy and a lightweight plot frustrate you.
Pros: inventive fight scenes; physical comedy; impressive stunts | Cons: thin predictable story; broad juvenile humor; uneven acting
