Viewing Notes

Yeah I love this movie.

There’s a whole thing about storytelling and myth building that I’d like to write up when I get some time… how tales and folklore become larger than life as they get told and passed on to future generations. We are getting the 40 year old story told to us today of these legends and their legendary battles around loyalty and brotherhood, superhuman feats and strength. It’s all exaggerated as we hear the story and this movie encapsulates that starting with the opening passage about how Cyclone become the ruler of Kowloon Walled City.

Now I know why Mr. Big’s sidekick is such a badass; that is Philip Ng completely unrecognizable. Wow I love that guy. He’s next level as that character.
