I beg to differ about the action scenes were boring. I thought they were great. I liked how Sammo Hung uses a leaf as a killing machine, and Yuen Biao's leap from the trees.

Barring that-there's little characterization, I thought. They were just stock characters-the horny guy, the mad guy, the quiet leader, etc ad nauseum. The over-the-top violence makes it fun to watch, but I thought Sammo could have come up with something better than a no-brainer like this.
