Oddly enough, I found this quirky little movie quite appealing. It took me a bit to warm up to the movie, but in the end I liked the non-traditionalist approach to this kung-fu movie. The physical humor and the verbal humor, while not hilarious, was still pretty funny. And I think more than anything, the humor was effective because it came as such a shock and a surprise just because of the timing and the kind of movie it was. But this movie didn't just provide laughs, it also provided some excellent fight sequences. The battles in this movie easily rival some of the top kung fu movies such as "Iron Monkey", "Lord of the Wu-Tang", and others. There was a perfect blend of true martial arts hand to hand combat, excellent choreography, and a bit of suspended belief weapons use and super ability.

The directing and the cinematography was spectacular. There were some wonderfully captured shots that drastically enhanced the movies appearance and overall style. As a martial arts movie fan, I really appreciated this movie's ability to mix humor with some very nice and stylized fighting scenes without making a mockery of itself and other good martial arts films. This movie is a pleasant surprise for any kung fu movie fans.
