Movie Reviews of Legend of the Red Dragon
Movie Review: Good Humor and Good Fighting
Summary: 4 Stars
Though its not Jet Li's best movie, it is still fun to watch and the humor in it is well timed for a movie that is not a comedy. This version is subtitled with not english dubbing.
Summary of Legend of the Red Dragon
Shih-kuang hone a kung-fu student of shaolin is an insurgent against the manchu rulers. A fellow student nigh-erh ma betrays him by reporting this to the authorities. Hongs whole family is arrested and later beheaded. Hong kills ma in revenge and escapes with his youngest son man-ting to nowhere land. Studio: Sony Pictures Home Ent Release Date: 11/02/2004 Starring: Jet Li Run time: 83 minutes Rating: R Director: Wong JingA distraught warrior (the charismatic Jet Li) forces his toddler son to choose between a sword and a wooden horse. If he chooses the sword, together they will fight the corrupt government that killed their family; if he chooses the horse, the warrior will send him to join his mother--in hell. Thus begins The New Legend of Shaolin, a wild Hong Kong fantasy. Though the opening sounds grim, the movie shifts ahead seven years and becomes increasingly comic as its plot unfolds. The story centers around a map tattooed on the backs of five boys; it leads to treasure from the Ming dynasty that a heroic sect hopes to use to reestablish the Shaolin temple, which the government destroyed. Meanwhile, Li is forced by poverty to become the bodyguard of a blowhard merchant, who doesn't realize that his bride-to-be is part of a mother-daughter team of notorious thieves. Meanwhile, a villain deformed by a poison that gives him invincible powers is hunting down the five boys, one of whom is the merchant's son... As is usually the case with Hong Kong cinema, the filmmakers have crammed in enough stuff to fill several ordinary movies. The exaggerated stoic conversations between Li and his 7-year-old son, both of them stone-faced and painfully serious, are extremely funny, as are the bizarre bits when the bride's mother masquerades as a ghost. And on top of all this are at least seven spectacular action sequences that are both comic and exciting. A prime example of the unique joys of Hong Kong pop culture. --Bret Fetzer
