Wong Fei-hung: Whip Extinguishes the Candles

Post by hotsake »

The Wong Fei Hung here definitely isn't the staunch and slightly naive hero as portrayed by Jet Li. The fighting here while sloppy and primitive looking now was unlike anything seen before and it still holds up in an Chinese Opera Troop/Live demonstration kind of way. The story is also quite fun and full of spunky take no shit women which was a nice addition. There was some good humor sprinkled throughout to keep the non action scenes lively. The ending is a bit of a piss off as it end in a cliff hanger just a duel starts.
