One of the best Takeshi Kaneshiro films. Brutal action, good fights. Not bad.

I've only seen this on VHS, but it is a great martial arts/action flick, with an excellent period backdrop.

The fight scenes range from the standard (one-man-takes-on-an-army), to the amazing (Tam See and Wa Wing-Jing fighting each other on a moving horse). Corey Yuen is one of the best when it comes to fight choreography.

...this movie has everything, great fight scenes, excellent shoot outs, a nefarious bad guy, and the brooding hero.

Recommened viewing.

Neo-classic epic of Shaw Brothers!

If anybody remembers the Shaw Bros., this revived version of early 70's classic movie, originally heroed by Kwan-Tai Chan, would suffice their expectation. Except for the absence of Chan's legendary charisma in old version (I never could have found it from Kaneshiro), this movie is full of satisfactory style and high-stunt action which are originated from Chang Cheh's works in Shaw Bros. in early 60's. Very stylish and meticuliously taken in main China, taking full consideration of old fans' taste for Biao Yuen's fantastic agility and John Woo's blood-spirting gunny action. Plot and performance are just so-so, but the music and art design are very luxurious. As an old fan, I would prefer the old one since no young-generated star like Kaneshiro could not fit for the character of Ma Wingjing,nowadays. However, as a standpoint of the renaissance of Shaw Bros.' golden age in 70's, this movie shed a confident light on their future industry, not in Hong Kong any more but in mainland China.

Not as good as most of Yuen Kwai's films but it does deliver good action scenes. Yuen Biao is likeable as a hardened crime boss. I wish Yuen Kwai had given more for Yuen Wah to do, in Hero he plays little more than a buffoon to Takeshi's straight man. 7.5/10
