Yuan Kui may be Jet Li's most tacit partner, but Yuan Heping is the action director who knows how to develop Jet Li the most. The kung fu emperor under the camera of the eighth master perfectly controls all kinds of martial arts routines. The two are a perfect match in this film, contributing to the most watchable film in history. Sexual Tai Chi movies, even now, are still an insurmountable peak. Ba Ye's accomplishments in martial arts are definitely a master-level figure, but the director's work is lackluster. This film is definitely the highlight moment of Yuan Heping's work. The action scenes have both elegant and sharp picture quality. The characteristics of the move are explained incisively and vividly, good-looking, too good-looking. In addition, strong dramatic conflict, passionate film soundtrack, incisive lines, etc., all classic elements are readily available. Of course, the film cannot avoid the common problems of Hong Kong entertainment films. The expression of many details is too joking and casual, such as the origin of Zhang Sanfeng: crazy three times a day, and the lack of attention to clothing: the soldiers of the Song Dynasty, the generals of the Yuan Dynasty, and the eunuchs of the Ming Dynasty... Another place that this film gives me a strong memory is its lines, "My life is up to me", which has always been my motto. "The past is just an experience in life, not a burden." The perfect chicken soup for the soul is worth savoring.
