Viewing Notes
Been way too long since I last watched this! Wonder if a version with Jet Li’s voice exists? So strange to hear this different voice. Also wild to cast Yuen Biao and barely use him (for his martial art skills). But he is a nice addition here. My only wish is for the guns to be portrayed accurately consistently throughout the movie. Was annoying to see single-fire weapons being shot like semi-automatics until it was a necessary plot device to make them accurate as a single shot.
