Yat do king sing

If you like watching martial arts movies. This is a definate must see. I believe the fight choreography was done by Sammo Hung, and it is very well done.

The other reviews mention violence. Surely something to avoid showing to children, but by no means did I find it disturbing. Most of the violence is very silly. For the most part, I found them most humorous.

Similar to Shaw Bro.s movie violence. In the first action sequence, the star flies across the screen. It just happens to be convenient that there are about seven soldiers standing in a line, and he beheads them all in one swipe.

The final battle and the tournament fight are excellent. Good mindless fun.

Probably some of the best martial arts choreography in a film but some of the most hacky acting. Stay for the fights.

This movie suffers from poor english translation and hence questionable voice-overs. For the most part, action is well choreographed with some interesting wirework which can be taken either as humorous or quite fascinating, creating a strangely magical effect. It depends on what mood you're in as to how you'll take the wirework.

The action can't really be faulted and there are a few of those fights which you find yourself watching eyes wide open, refusing to blink incase you miss a vital move. But that aspect of the film can only add a degree of interest to an otherwise average title which wouldn't really be worth watching were it not for competent fight scenes. The poor script translation takes alot away from the film at times especially when one or two proverbs are translated like they expected the audience to be five year olds. Overall: 6/10

Damn Damn Damn, sEE This movie. I first saw this movie one sat afternoon. I was bored as hell and there was nothing on TV. I was watching Cinemax because a new movie was about to come on and it's parental rating was MA. Now all of you know MA (mature audiences) movies only come on late at night on Cinemax (skinamax for those of you up late at night). Anyway this movie is the shiznit!!! The fight sequences are non stop unbelievable but most importantly HIGHLY entertaining. Many scenes with all kinds of limbs and other various body parts getting chopped off add to the entertainment of this film. Lot's of invisible wire effects in this movie, definately a must see if you are a fan of the genre.

A very good Chinese classic period swordplay story. A humble, but very skilled kung fu fighter helps defeat a large troup of bandits who are attacking an official convoy. A very high-up official thanks and befriends the kung fu expert. As the story progresses, it becomes more evident that the high official is a very cruel and ambitious person. The anti-hero friend becomes critical of the official and gets into trouble over it. He refuses to back down even when threatened with his life. This is a very violent movie, enough to rate a category III in Hong Kong (no adult scenes are in this-so it is all from violence). Really excellent performances from the entire cast. Incredible fight sequences make this a must-have for any hard-core enthusiast of classic period swordplay films (with lots of wirework).
