When I bought this movie, I was expecting a chuckle or two and to see some pretty good fight scenes. This movie went beyond my expectations and has to be one of the best movies I have seen all year. The comedy had me laughing out loud, the fight scenes were jaw dropping and to top it all off it even had some touching emotional scenes as well. This movie has it all and it comes not from the United States, but rather the far east where they seem to keep making movies that I thoroughly enjoy. This movie has a gang known as the Axe gang terrorizing nearly every corner of the city save for the areas that are poor. That is until an aspiring man who wishes to join the gang literally brings the gang violence to this peaceful little slum town with its many colorful characters, which a few of the residents are kind of well versed in kung fu. We get to see this young man make several stupid mistakes and he seems sort of a klutz, but there also seems to be a hint of greater things. Assassines are sent to deal with those who fought the Axe gang and we get a very strange musical combo and a man who is so well versed in martial arts he is known as the "Beast". Great fights ensue, but as for the comedy the best part has to be Sing's (the man who wants to join the Axe gang) assassination attempt of the landlady of the poor town. So if you like Asian cinema and are in the mood for a movie that basically has a lot of laughs and action then this is definitely the one to check out.
