Viewing Notes

Not as good as the previous movie but still entertaining especially for Josephine Siao who nearly steals the movie from Jet Li again. She’s so damn good.

Main reason to watch this installment is the river sequence where Jet fights a bunch of samurai on bamboo rafts while carrying Amy Kwok on his back. Incredible action direction.

So amusing that Corey Yuen casts himself as a prominent character in his own movie.

Broken record: get these two movies out on a nice special edition set already!! Fuck
