Movie Reviews of New Legend of Shaolin
Movie Review: Jet Does History Again!
Summary: 5 Stars
Jet plays Hung Xi Guan (I believe he's historically the brother of Wong Fei Hung) and Tze Miu plays his son Man Ting in a great story about survival. Hung Xi Guan is wanted by Imperial troops for his rebellion and he and his son is on the run. Many years earlier, a former friend of Hung backstabbed him and joined the troops. Hung had to fight and kill him to survive, but he did't die. Instead he came survived and became this "poisonous man" who is now running the troops. The Imperial troops are also also killing innocents to fight a group of kids that have a certain treasure map tattooed on their backs. You won't see Jet using his fists too much in this movie for he is using a special kind of spear throughout and its pretty cool. His son however played by Tze Mui is pretty awesome in this movie. This boy got some real kung fu skills and he really shines here. The ever so beautiful Chingmy Yau is also in this film. There are plenty of fights in this movie to keep kung fu buffs happy and they are all well choreographed. The story is quite touching for its time as well, and the humor is definitely present. One thing I didn't like about the film is the "poisonous man" riding around in a metal car...watch it and you'll see, its really weird. Now, I've read that a US release will be coming out under the name The Legend of the Red Dragon...hmm...as far as I can remember, this has very little to do with any dragon, let alone it being red...I believe this film will only have an English dub, and you know how nasty that can get. Folks, stick with the original because I'm down right sure that a lot of the original comedy and feel to the film will be cut out of the new rerelease. Now, there are 2 HK versions, one being from Tai Seng and the newly released and remastered Universe version...get the Universe one cause the picture and sound is far better than Tai Seng. Of course the US release will probably have the best sound effects, but the Universe release is loud enough. If you buy any American rerelease that is only English dubbed, just make sure you got the original too....Trust me, it'll start to bother you after a while. Anyways, this film is great, and well worth your viewing. ...
