Viewing Notes
Wrapping up the Eureka box set (which doesn’t have IV or V in it) with Jet Li’s return to the role but with Sammo Hung in the director’s chair.
Not nearly as good as I and II and full of racial stereotypes to the point where it’s almost a spoof of westerns. Hung’s broad slapstick style just doesn’t work as well here as it does in THE MILLIONAIRE’S EXPRESS.
