The end of the film pays tribute to the martial arts personnel, and seems to be playing a lamentation of the times.
As an action movie for commercial purposes, its plot is not very good, and even the most interesting fighting part is not as good as an action movie.
But you can also parse what it expresses artistically—I watched it several times, and the last time I watched it, I was shocked and moved by that scene—Feng Yuxiu attacked Officer Lu like a claws, but was shot by Officer Lu. Death... what a ruthless scene - even a kung fu master who can become the best in the world can't resist bullets.
In the old days, kung fu was a killing technique, but with the impact of the development of the progressive thinking of the times, kung fu has been transformed into a performance for people to enjoy, and those masters of the past have retired from the world. Some people say that Feng Yu Xiu is not at the right time, but I think that he is an inevitable product of the development of the times - the concept of an old era - kung fu is a killing technique. However, in the end, it seemed that he was under the charge of "deserving the crime" that the times gave him - killing many innocent people, he was shot and killed rightly, so the audience breathed a sigh of relief for the protagonist.
Kung fu seems to be less and less valued under the erosion of time. Utilitarianly speaking, the times need to progress, and the dross must be eliminated. Perhaps the main creator did it intentionally, or maybe it was just an unintentional expression in the commercial selling feelings. The tribute at the end seems to echo the plot of the film, as if Kung Fu fell to the ground like a dance of claws under the gunshots of the times... Like a fantasy A lamentation of the decline of kung fu resounded in the void...
