The non-fight scenes hover somewhere between dull and irritating. A pity, as the fights, which take up a bit more than half of the screening time, are amongst the best I've seen. Peter Chan and Casanova Wong are superbly matched as the the avenger and the assassin. And there is some seriously good fu talent in the support cast as well. Not only that, but the fights are great fun, and sometimes screamingly funny.

The climax is a ripper. Combining acrobatics, ropes, sacks of wheat and flying kicks, filmed in a barn. You gotta see it.

Fast forward through every scene which doesn't containing fighting or the lovely Hwa Ling.
