Iron Monkey (1993)
6/10
Good for its martial arts
7 December 2002
Given that is was made in 1993, its martial arts is impressive. Its story line is simple, yet effective, providing humor, fun and suspense all at once, which is not atypical of movies from Hong Kong. It cannot be compared to Crouching Tiger since the directing is so different and the martial arts has progressed quite a bit.

Some people thinks the martial art is over the top, but there are so many disciplines of martial art, including some that emphasize their ability to be light on their feet. Whether they could perform such acts, I cannot answer, but many of those incredible stuff they did have roots in Kung Fu.

Anyway, it is still a fun film.
