I have to say, I went in expecting little since this is jet's second or third movie, but I was pleasantly surprised that it kicked major ass! There are plenty of fights in the movie and one particularly long one at the end. Also there is a pretty big war scene at the beginning of the movie that almost makes you forget this is a kung fu flick. My only gripe is that most of the fight scenes take place in the same bar and in a boxing ring so its really hard to remember individual fights as they seem to run together, except for the end fight which takes place in a warehouse. Also the movie ended a little quickly in my opinion but none the less a great martial arts movie and a great Jet Li movie!
If you want to wallow in ignorant Chinese xenophic anti-americanism, this movie's the one for you.Somehow the American Navy seems to have taken over China and prostituted their women while drinking all the beer. Characters include the cowardly black sailor, racist white boys on leave and the ever popular missing in war daughter of the disabled veteran, turned prostitute for the hated Yankees, though with a heart of gold for her countrymen.From destroying a rickshaw taking a pregnant woman to the hospital to assorted acts of drunken anti-social rampage, these Americans seem to require brutal murder for the good of the Chinese people.hmmm, sounds like Tianamen Square.
whats with that? it was made after this movie so would that mean that it stole its soundtrack from this movie? and if so, i'm amazed as the nrns2 soundtrack is my favorite ever.apart from that i thought the movie was pretty cool. nothing too amazing. jet li is a pretty short martial artist and therefore very quick but i don't think he has the screen presence of a loren avedon or mathias hues.check it out but pay careful attention to the great soundtrack.My vote - 6\10GREAT SOUNDTRACK!
It was fun to see Jet in this film because this is during his early stages of his roles. The film wasnt very good, but it did have more fight scenes in it. One thing that i didnt like about his movie was that Jet got beat up more in this movie than other ones I've see.
