Do not compare it to Crouching Tiger. It does not have the story, artistic features and great music score. However, it is highly entertaining. It is real Kung Fu - Michelle Y. is the only one in Crouching Tiger that knows Kung Fu. It is a simple story so you do not have to read sub title that much (or too much thinking). I hope they could make a lot of money in the film and open the flood gate of other great Hong Kong movies. Those that already in cable may not do too well. Some may require English dubbing. They are: Once Upon in China I, II, III, Chinese Ghost Story, Bullet on the Head, Killer, God of Gamblers, God of Cookery... Shaolin Soccer and Wu will be released next year and Hollywood would make good money with the right marketing. Besides Kung Fu movies, HK has a lot to offer but most comedies are hard to translate without losing a lot.
