Linkshoch Wonderful Movie
Lumsdal Good , But It Is Overrated By Some
InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.
Zandra The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
ferdiverweij what do you think of when someone talks about a Chinese movie, which is a cross between martial arts "Crouching Tiger" action, hilarious comedy, a farce, modern fairytale, passioned lovestory and very out of sync talks? with a great score though...well, this Jet Li canton movie proved it can work out. the fights are magnificent, the jokes cool and only Shakespeare himself could have written a comedy of misunderstanding, love and honour etc.I liked this one!
nickthegun A few spoilers, but what the hey.I was quite amazed by Fong Sai Yuk. The beginning, to be honest, didn't exactly inspire me with confidence. Sai Yuk enters a race and runs so fast his pony tail extends straight behind him. It really looks stupid. But, from then on the pace picked up.Sai Yuk was just a normal boy (albeit hard as a coffin nail), his mum nagged him to study and he was often told off. But then the plot thickens and it turns out his family are involved in an underground resistance movement. It then all kicks off as a top fighter from the government tries to track them down.We have comedy (which, for once, works well in a martial arts film) romance and, most of all, action. And boy howdy do we have action. It has some of the best scenes I have seen.All in all The Legend of Fong Sai Yuk is a superb film. Its perfect late night action fodder.
Duncan Drury I finally managed to get my hands on a copy of this movie, and all I can say is WOW! Wow, because I didn't understand what the hell was going on for the whole movie, the subtitles were so badly misaligned. But mainly WOW! because it didn't matter a jot that I couldn't tell what the plot was as the film is just one amazing "fight" scene after another. This film defies belief, and description. If you like martial arts movies, check this out. If you enjoyed Crouching Tiger, check this out. If you love MAD films check this out.There is a scene in which Jet Li fights the mother of the woman he has a crush on entirely on the HEADS of a crowd! Then HIS mother has a fight with the first woman.From the opening scene you will see that this is a piece of genius. The plot doesn't matter. This is pure spectacle.When you see these people move you will realise that the USA can never invade China. They just have all the tricks in the book. They wrote the tricks. I wish I had seen this when I was 9. It would have changed my life totally.
dragon ma young i didnt think this was going to be filled with humor, and the humor turned out to be HILARIOUS! i was really suprised at how funny this movie was. it could have been a comedy all by it self, it didnt even need action. but we got brilliant action, and thats awesome. one to check out.
