The doctor's father, a member of the Cantonese Association in town, is well known for his ability to turn out the best Lion King, and the many criminal gangs of the city, usually embroiled in rivalry against one another, are of one mind when it comes to wanting to eliminate the threat that this "outsider" will win.

    Very good movie and character development

    While the martial arts, comedy and intrigue are effective here, as in all the Once Upon a Time in China flicks, this edition is weakened somewhat by it's concentration on dragon dancing, which admittedly is probably a cultural bias on my part. I just don't find dragon dancing THAT inherently interesting. And the fights aren't as cool as in part 2. Still, this is a worthy rental for lovers of HK cinema and Jet Li.

    Yes   |   No

    My thumbs are way up for all the "Once Upon A Time In China" movies starring Jet Li. These movies are more enjoyable if you understand and watch them in Cantonese language.
