on Feb 03 2006 01:26 AM this movie was released just right b4 the Lunar New Year, went to the cinemas with my parents. Great marketing decision. The fight scenes are somewhat better then Crouching Tiger too ( at least for the audience who had grown up with this kind of fighting style)---no flying around, Just to clear things up, this is his last Wunxia-era film. ( the pigtail and early British influence.) (Reply to this) |
on Feb 03 2006 04:23 AM In reply to this comment (#830768) He said that this would be his last Wushu film, or Martial arts film. Not his last film period. In chinese cinema, as you probably know, there is a distinction between martial art films and action films. In the u.s. people lump them all together, but for the people who have to make the films, these types of martial art films are much more demanding on the body than your typical gun-fu type roles, or straight action roles.
