This is an all star cast film with Wong Jin directing, so you can expect high caliber action, and production. It was probably the peak of silver age of Hong Kong cinema when this movie was made, and we see two gorgeous actresses Chingmy Yau, and Chun Man as the two lady leads, and Jet Li and Sammo Hung doing the male lead. The story is little contrived in the middle, but they save all the good actions until the end. Wong Jin's directing and production is good. There's always one more treat at each scene that makes watching this movie rewarding.I only wish that there are more actresses like Chingmy Yau these days, who are pretty and gorgeous at the same time. Jet Li saves all his talent until the very end. He was not so well known outside of Hong Kong back then. Sammo Hung is spot on as the master. All this makes this movie an entertaining piece.Good movie from the '90s that almost looks like it was made in the 21st century.

Seriously, i LOVE martial arts, but i never understood the way of the Asian of always putting weird sci fi stuff in there martial arts movies. Kung Fu come from China, and its so a beautiful art, why dirt it with crappy not possible stuff that to be honest look so freaking dumb...Not the first time i see dumb stuff like human flying or stuff like that, i saw a couple of these Asian movie like crouching tiger hidden dragon, and i can handle a few(and i mean a few) wired shot like in Romeo must Die(also with Jet Li) but when its full of dumb stuff like in this movie(a dude moving with a rolling rock, Jet Li throwing energy ball Ryu style in street fighter...) If i watch mortal kombat i expect Liu Kang to do a Bicycle kick, its a trade mark move, and i expect sub zero to throw ice... But when i watch a movie like this one, i would expect a nice real Asian martial arts movie.

Jet Li's performance in this martial arts classic is superb. None of his other films come close to this. I was especially blown away by the incredible subtitles in this feature. I'm just so tired of bad dubbing...it's not that funny, leave it to mxc. The team-up of Jackie Chan with Chris Tucker was awesome. They have great chemistry together. Jackie's high-flying stunts combined with Tucker's urban lingo is perfect. I did not approve of Bruce Lee's cameo however. It's a slap in the face to feature him in a film in which he is not the main actor. I'm eagerly awaiting the sequel which is set for filming in July '04. I wish they made movies like this where I come from. It gets so darn lonely in my basement. Movies like this keep me from committing suicide.

WOW!!!! These were the thoughts that filled my mind as I watched this movie. It has amazing "New-school" action that satisfies the imagination. This movie focuses on characters whose abilities are larger than life. It's all-out martial art madness as the various schools of Kung-fu battle it out. The movie gives credit to Shoalin, Wu Tang, and other schools and each showcases its best fighters and unique fighting style in this battle for supremacy. Be prepared for plot twists. I was left begging for more and hope there will be a part two, even if Jet Li isn't in it. The story line of this movie was great and could have definitely continued on. The only thing to be desired is a dubbed version, regardless, this is a must see movie!
