What a cool film! The plot is thin and there are many little subplots, but it really doesn't matter. Awesome fights, an all-star cast and high production values make this an excellent film. Many of the outrageous stunts made me replay in slow-mo. For example, Yuen Biao calmly does a backflip off a burning four or five story building and gets up like it's something he does every day. Yet, the fights are realistic enough that we see some blood and black-and-blue. This is probably the most star-filled HK movie ever. Strongly recommended.
