Product: Wong Fei Hung: Chi sai wik hung shut [VHS]
Rating: 2.0
A Failure on all levels
I had a lot of hope for this film. As a huge fan of the first two films in this series, I was excited to see the return of Jet Li to the role that made him famous. Also, I had hopes that Sammo Hung behind the camera could only improve things...I was wrong. The story is uninspired, a mix between that Star Trek episode where Kirk loses his memory and ends up living with Native Americans and...well, bad westerns. The fight scenes, which are supposed to be the hallmark of any HK actioner, were weak and shot poorly, missing whatever art may have been there. If you are interested in the genre, avoid this picture and rent/buy the first two. You want Cowboys and Indians with martial arts...well, watch old "Kung Fu" episodes, if you must.
