I’ve been wanting to see this movie and I was finally able to borrow it from the uncle of one of my students.

My advice for this movie is: suspend reality. There are some weird footages, lenthy unnecessary scenes, and stuff that doesn’t make sense. Like…..yeah that guy is going to fight against 20 other people, except only 2 of those 20 are actually fighting and the rest are just “pretending” aka running around or looking shocked or waiting for their turn. But what Chinese film, or martial arts film for that matter, would be complete without that?

All I know is, Takeshi Kaneshiro is hot. (He’s the guy on the left…) His character is super smart and knows everything. And I mean everything. Even how to pull a pony out of a horse. You’ll know what I mean when you watch it. If you watch it.

I highly suspect his hot voice was dubbed over by a guy who can speak better Mandarin. How dare they! I like his accented weird Mandarin! Put it back!

Did I mention he was hot?
