Legend of the Wolf (1997)
Reviewed by: jfierro on 1999-12-21
A young man learns through a series of flashbacks about the earlydays of the legendary Wolf, how he lost his memory and knew only to return to a small village and reunite with his long-lost love, how he met his best friend and made friends with the villagers, and how his past came back to haunt to him, the villagers, and his love. Lots of great action and fighting from Donnie Yen and --- believe it or not --- Wong Chi-Wah. Unfortunately, while it's a lot of fun to watch Donnie fight, he still can't carry a movie by himself. And Carman seems out of place in this fighting extravaganza. But while it's no classic, the fighting sequences and basic premise are entertaining enough to make it worth watching, especially for those of you who miss the nonstop fighting movies Hong Kong used to make in mass quantity.
