In addition, he has to face the escalating enmity of a local government type, Lui, a martial artist who has adopted many western values and is conspiring with western businessmen to disrupt the Chinese way of doing things in the region. Tournament competitions between rival academies are only a prelude to the final competition between the two masters, in which the Iron Chicken style will be used against the Centipede style of fighting. ~ Clarke Fountain, Rovi

    Imagine...a FUNNY classic martial Arts flick...breaking people's bones and spinal columns in half are now possible after viewing this hilarious well paced classic kung-fu flick. Jet Li returns as a martial arts instructor and moonlighting as a doctor. (hmmm....same type of theme ... read morefrom Iron Monkey?)

All in all, this is an entertainingly stupid action comedy that never takes itself too seriously but fails to reach either the same level of excitement as Hark's Wong Fei-hung series. Full Review
