Great action, but I swear to GOD the two female leads cannot act! Michelle Yeoh's performance is mostly stilted while Cynthia Rothrock is worse. Still, they are great martial artists.

Mang Hoi and John Sham (he's a politician now, isn't that scary?) are there mainly for comic value, while Tsui Hark does a rare turn in front of the camera. Most amusing is when Mang Hoi and John Sham gang-bash cop Wu Ma in a bid to get into jail :) While most of the film is light-hearted, the director then tries to make it dark, and I didn't think it worked. It made the film disjointed instead. The ending isn't something you'll see often in a Hong Kong flick, and it really didn't suit the film. Overall, just watch the fights.
