ONCE UPON A TIME IN CHINA
Rating:
Stars: Jet Lee, Rosamund Kwan, Yuen Biao, Jacky Cheung
Director: Tsui Hark
1991, Hong Kong, Golden Harvest
 
China is full of colonialists and foreign businessmen who want to take profit. People are tricked to other countries for better work but end up as slaves. Wong Fei Hung (Jet Lee) tries to keep the Chinese traditions alive and still lead his martial arts school in conflict against national traitors and foreign invaders.
 
Abundant wire use but still a very good movie in which Jet Lee shows both his acting and martial art skills.
Yuen Biao doesn’t do so much exept jump around a little.
Yen Shi Kwan has a role as an Iron Body master and is very good.
Yuen Cheung Yan (the old guy from "Drunken Tai Chi") has a small role too.
Well, there isn't much more I can say about this, but if you like Jet and new wave flicks then this is a good one for you.
