Fine Fantasy 'Fu
This film is a real giggle. When I watch it, I feel as though I am witnessing some extravagent daydream by an imaginative pre-teen. The effects are really over-the-top, & the things I found most humorous about it were probably not intended as such. Nevertheless, I have watched it several times and I find it very appealing on some level. Jet Li is really sort of wasted in this flick, because so much of it is "magic" & "super secret final techniques" that his real martial arts ability is not truly showcased. One feels that anyone else could have played the part... kind of like finding the special gismo that turns ordinary kids into Power Rangers. Still, it is worth having this film in your collection, especially if your funny bone is tickled by the weird and offbeat.
