| In my opinion I thought this was a good Jet movie--even though it lacks story, the fight scenes were good. They weren't excellent or the best, but they were good and wonderful to watch. Mostly the fights were fast-paced, which made it exciting. There's even special effects employed into the fight scenes. There is one shot of bullet time motion and the rest of the fights are worthwhile to watch, especially if you're a Jet fan and a fan of Hong Kong cinema action. Wire-fu is used a lot to enhance innovative moves and the humor is like Fong Sai Yuk, but not too much like it if you know what I mean. Slow motion is used when flying kicks etc. are performed.
The plot kind of sucks as it has Indiana Jones style, but who cares, we only watch it for Jet fights scenes and acting and that etc. Actually, the good thing about the story is that it is different for a change--i.e. different setting and style--from Jet's previous films. It's always good to see something different for a change!
Overall, if you are a Jet fan, then I would consider to add this movie to your Jet collection, although some say they don't like it at all and rather watch Fist of Legend and Once Upon A Time In China style of movies.
