It looks to me like a remake of "Legend of the Fox" (which featured the Venoms). I preferred the original "Legend of the Fox", but this is an excellent movie, martial arts-wise. A bit too much wire at times but plenty of good action scenes. Leung Kar Yan has a great part in the first 20 minutes of the movie and performs well. Great performance by the hot Kara Hui Ying Hung. No slow action here. Did not like the ending too much, but I don't hesitate to recommend this martial arts flick. | | LOG IN TO COMMENT ON THIS REVIEW! |

Excellent remake of "Legend of the Fox". Alex Man, Huang Jih Hua (from Jackie Chan's "Drunken Master 2"), and Kara Hui Ying Yung (from "My Young Auntie") were outstanding! Look for Leung Kar Yan in an excellent portrayal of the role originated by Venom regular Lu Feng! This movie was a superior remake in my opinion but does lack a little of the charm of the original. | | LOG IN TO COMMENT ON THIS REVIEW! |

I perfer the Venoms version of this movie. Yes this movie is either a rip-off of "Legend Of The Fox" or perhaps a three-years-later new version of this film. I'm not ever sure if it's based on a book. Well at any rate, the movie does have a ton of kung fu action. The story was just too dumb. | | AGREE? | READER COMMENTS | AUTHOR | | N | It is called a remake, like Fist of the White Lotus was in regards to Executioners From Shaolin. The story was basically the same. | Sgt. T |

If you have seen "Legend Of The Fox" this is pretty much the same movie with a few changes and new characters. I really enjoyed this movie. I dont believe it was slow at all. I thought it flowed very well compared to "Legend Of The Fox" where good acting saved the movie. There's plenty of action, my only letdown is the ending, which starts out promising then fizzles out badly and left me with a sour taste in my mouth. But 88 minutes of this movie are excellent. The last minute is a bit of a shocker, but there is enough in this movie to warrant watching it, and if the last fight was better I would have given 4 and a half stars. | | AGREE? | READER COMMENTS | AUTHOR | | Y | I agree the ending was a shocker, but I got this one on your say so. Excellent choice thanks! | Sgt. T |

| I actually bought this one by mistake, but with the new Zoke Culture discs, you really cannot pass on the remastered, original language DVDs. Well, I have to say that this movie is actually pretty good for the first half-hour. One of my favorites, Leung Kar Yan, is in it and shows off some neat sword work, but fans beware he is killed off early in the movie. This really starts the uninteresting plot that just has too many "twists" and really odd, un-needed additions to the plot that made this movie a chore to watch. It is sad too because even with the excessive wire fu, the choreography is pretty good. I do not regret buying it but it is not classic. It was good to see Kara Hui have some strong performances, but in the end the writers/directors had her play the pretty typical weeping/wimpy woman role. Odd thing, in one scene she is destroying people, but when in the scenes with the main character she becomes martially inept. That was annoying. Still, if you like sword-play movies (and this has about two really good hand-to-hand scenes) and/or you are a collector, it’s worth having. |
