Viewing Notes

Interesting slow burn kung fu flick that’s more like a palace intrigue story with a little action sprinkled around. Then ends with a crazy finale. What I like about this is that it just drops the viewer into the story to piece things together… like who is the Hero Mei (Jimmy Wang Yu) and why is he a big deal and what the heck are the Killer Meteors. As usual there’s more than enough story beats and plotting crammed into this convoluted movie but it’s colorful and fun and before Jackie found his brand (and eye surgery) to make it a fascinating watch.
