From all of the comments (here and on other sites) I had expected this to be on par with Fist of Legend for the fight scenes. It is not. While very well photographed and directed, and the story is very good, the fight scenes seemed to be few and far between and short-lived (except for the final scene which was unnecessarily reliant on wires). I have the DVD version and may go back to look at the actual of minutes to verify my impressions. One thing that becomes clear - Donny Yen is every bit as good as Jet Li, in wu shu and acting, and deserves a wider audience.
