This review is from: Fist of the Red Dragon (DVD)

This movie was definitely missing something, and no I'm not talking about the baby crawling across the ceiling.

I think an earlier reviewer hit the nail on the head:

"Wong FE Hong(should have been played by Jet Li)"

It was missing that one extra star. The guy playing Wong FE Hong just wasn't that good. It was obvious in the medical scenes that he just wasn't as good an actor as Jet Li.

Also, that whole addicted to opium, fighting off the addiction, etc, etc was painful to watch, what horrible acting/directing. The relationship between the Dad and Sister In-law was fantastic though. That acting/directing relationship was done really well.

The last fighting sequence made the whole movie worth watching. There is a little bit splashed here and there to keep you interested, the story is average at best, but the last fighting scenes are great.

This movie is average as a whole, worth renting not buying, but definetly worth seeing. Anyone giving this movie 5 stars bought the movie b4 seeing it, so they're bias. But watch this movie for sure, then make your decision.

This review is from: Fist of the Red Dragon (DVD)

I like Donnie Yen is always putting in alot of effert in either Directing or Acting or fight Chor.,This film really did have a couple of problems much being little short scenes maybe 10 or so seconds that made no scence.Other than that the only other complaint is the fight scenes in the first half of the movie are nothing compared to some really awsome fight scenes in the second half of the film!Here are the Pros and cons
PROS
1.Donnie Yen's on screen presents
2.In the film his character fights and becomes buddies with the ever so popular Wong FE Hong(should have been played by Jet Li)
3.The fight scenes in the second half of the movie are awsome especially the last one with tons of on screen fighters.

CONS- theres really not many
1.The english dubbing is not so good, give me the original language or nothing i hate dudding especially in this one!
2.fight scenes early arnt great but they get much better

Last note buy this if either you are a Donnie Yen or Yeun woo ping fan,or you just collect decent martial art films.Rent if your a casual movie goer.

There are two big no-no's for me when it comes to martial arts movies. 1) Sped-up fight scenes, 2) wire-fu. This movie has both. Read more
