Re: OT: Movies I Have Seen Lately
I saw Fist of the Red Dragon
The story is set in China during the Opium War. The bad guys are smuggling opium into China and there's a big problem with people getting addicted. The hero, Donnie Yen, beats up the bad guys with his kung fu. Some very good fight scenes, choreographed by Yuen Woo Ping who did the Matrix , Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon, Kill Bill, etc. There some boring parts which are supposed to be funny but aren't. The fight scenes are great though, just ignore the rest of the story. This movie is similar to Iron Monkey, with the same guy and the same sort of fighting, but not quite at the same level.
