This is a classic Kung Fu film that can be considered as a prequel to Once Upon a Time in China as you have the character of Wong Fei Hung. The movie also resembles to OUATIC because it is in a similar time period. The story is based on the concept of Robin Hood (steal from the rich and give to the poor) but it is in a historical Kung Fu context. The general story is easy to follow, you don't have to concentrate on what is going on and why, but it is a good and enjoyable story.

Most of you already know the character of Wong Fei-Hung. In this movie, it's one of the rare times you get to see him young. After seeing him fight like this at early age, you know why he becomes so deadly at an older age. The role of Wong Fei-Hung was played by a girl, her martial arts expertise was incredible for such a young age. All the other main characters were interesting, there wasn't much of a background to the characters but they were all well played. They were the typical types of characters for a Kung Fu film, nothing innovative but nothing bad either. Even if its similar to other movies we like it, maybe that's why we enjoy these kind of movies we usually know what to expect.

Action is the buzz word for this film, get ready for some of the best kung fu. The Kung Fu used in the movie is of the fantasy style but semi believable as there is no magic or special effects, only the most incredible moves you've ever seen. The action in continuous during the film, you have a few minutes of dialog followed by a long fight scene. There wont be a moment that you'll be sleeping as there is plenty of action to keep you awake. All the fights in the movie make sense and follow the course of the story and every fight is high quality with use of excellent wire effects.

The subtitles were perfect in this film. This is a good classic Kung Fu film, anyone who enjoys traditional Chinese stories or has enjoyed Once Upon a Time in China will enjoy this film, especially the fantasy kung fu fans. One thing we'd like to mention, if you don't know like kung fu fighting all that much you might be bored because most of the film is fighting but if you don't like kung fu movies you probably did not bother to read the review till here.
