    I've seen this movie a few times, but finally found a version with subtitles. It's much, much better to see it in the original language. English dubbing is awful.

    The martial arts scenes are mediocre at best, the storyline ruined by the over-dramatic english dubbing (no chinese audio / english subtitles available), and the special effects are shakey...in a couple scenes you can see the string suspending the characters. Still, it's a Jet Li action movie, and will kill time if you like to have movies on while doing other things.
