Awesome Kung Fu fighting

Write this review because the last review was 6 years. I have not watch this kind of genre for s while. Kind of refreshing snd fun. If you are into martial art or action, this is a fun one to watch. I found this movie after watching Andy On on “Star Runner”. Started to search for his other project. His look was awesome. In this movie he looks like Brad Pitt. For people that not use to this kind of fist fight, it might be hard to watch. The last fight scene suppose to be gross, but I laughs so hard. Not sure why. War time era, they always portrait Japan as evil. Anyway, a fun watch

Way too much unneeded CGi and poorly sped up fights. Digital backgrounds and set are a pet peeve of mine. If you are going to do it, use it sparingly and only for thing that are needed not for each and every background. I was not disappointed by the acting as I knew both the main actors Andy On & Philip Ng are both extremely limited actors. Andy On voice dubbing was also poorly handled.
