The movie's plot is pretty basic with a guy named Sing (he does no singing) wanting to become a member of the Axe Gang. That's really all you need to know about this. What matters is that the effects are gorgeous and there's so much going on all the time. At least I could remember the main character's name! We get one awesome kung fu scene after the other. Are kung fu movies the only Chinese films that have ever been released in the United States?

I literally can't think of a single one I've seen that wasn't a kung fu movie. There's always ways this movie tops itself, adding more insanity to the mix. It's hard to even pick a specific fight scene that was my favorite. We even get some great jokes along the way. It probably does help that a film so over the top doesn't take itself seriously. Let me just say you're on a roller coaster ride of a movie! ***1/2
