It's no definitive masterpiece but it's damn close.
The film may be flawed, but its message is not.
Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.
Ye, simple good kung fu, both Yen and Wong is displaying some really good moves, though i personally belive Yen drew the longer straw in kickassness. The spirit of the movie has a feel of Jackie Chans better 80's/90's movies, though very few movies can compete with those.. All in all, dont expect anything groundbreaking, but you get a good 1½ hour solid kung fu entertainment from this!
What can I say? Donnie Yen has made a fan out of me. Yes, he was in Iron Monkey. This movie started out with the fight scenes being mediocre and all of a sudden the film reeled off one killer fight scene after another. This movie is a classic and any Kung Fu fan should see this. I was only the 39th person to vote on this. That surprised me because this movie is awesome. Musa the Warrior was a killer movie as well. I look for top quality fighting and this movie does the trick. Oh yeah, the plot of the movie is about stopping the distribution of Opium. My brother rented this at Blockbuster and I was skeptical until I saw Donnie Yen's name. I give this movie a 10/10 as far as Kung Fu is concerned!!!!The only meat a priest could eat on Sunday was Nun!!!
This was a pretty good period kung fu movie. Once again, Yuen Woo Ping and Donnie Yen team up in this OUATIC-esque story about Beggar So and Wong Fei Hung teaming up to fight opium dealers. Donnie Yen is excellent, his skills are superb. The actor who plays Wong Fei Hung is talented as well. I wish that Donnie Yen had more fighting time in the movie. His fight against Xiong Xin Xin was good, but it seemed a bit short. I also thought that the movie was too bloody at times. Setting that aside, it is an entertaining movie.
Heroes among heroes is another kung fu movie from the master: Yuen Woo-ping. It stars Donnie Yen (the greatest in my opinion!)) As usual, Yen kicks some major butts in this movie but the story is not really original: Opium dealing involving the ''evil'' british!!(Strongly reminiscent of Drunken Master 2, Tai chi 2 or even once upon a time in china!!) The actor who portrays Wong Fei Hong in the movie is also a good martial artist but Donnie, once again, steals the show with his grace and his charisma. He even uses the drunken style in this movie. There is a good amount of fights in this movie but they are short but the climactic fight is great. Watch this movie for the fights, not for the story, because the fights are from Yuen Woo-ping and Donnie Yen shines, as always!! 7.8/10
