Fong Sai Yuk works on so many levels. It's a fully entertaining film, with a decent plot, three dimensional characters and some great martial arts action. In possibly his best role, Jet Li creates a character that's arrogant yet naive. Josephine Siao plays his mother whose comic acting is greater than Jackie Chan.
Those who dislike Kung fu films may get past their disliking after seeing this film. Though it does contain its share of cliches and wild stunts (a man rides his horse as it jumps about 50 feet on to a boat), its story, action and humor may win over those whose hearts are closed to martial arts cinema.
In short, see the film. You won't be disappointed.
