Legend of the Wolf (1997)

This film isn't even worth writing a review about. However, I'll do it anyway in a selfless effort to spare others pain. Mediocre story, horrible direction, horrible action scenes (all of which took place in a combination of slow-mo and undercranking. Nary a normal speed moment to be had). Horrible sound effects (think Saturday afternoon kungfu movies (at least US residents)) and unsuccesful attempts to duplicate the artistic flair of directors like Wong Kar-Wai and Tsui Hark round out this monstrosity.

It kind of reminded me of The Blade, except that the Blade was good and Legend of the Wolf sucks. I was severely dissapointed because Donnie Yen has done much better (Iron Monkey, Wing Chun, and Dragon Inn come to mind) but he is a horrible director (ok, there was actually one decent shot in the film).
