After watching it again on the TV station, I realized that this film is quite bad, and I thought it was okay when I watched it ten years ago. Not to mention the plot and characters, it is not as good as the level of Hong Kong in the 1970s. Although there are many beautiful and wonderful actions in the action scenes, most of them are staged, resulting in the incoherent fighting process, which has become a performance of various difficult movements. This is also the problem with the chase scenes. The scenes are piled up with difficult moves and stunts, which are particularly incoherent and typically put the cart before the horse. Moreover, the difficult actions in the sparring process are unilateral beatings, and there is a lack of coherent and exciting sparring scenes, such as the sparring between Donnie Yen and Wu Jing in "Slaying the Wolf", Huang Feihong and Nalan in "Men Be Self-improvement" Yuan Shu's duel. So the first time I watched it, I thought it was quite fresh, but it was unbearable to watch, and the more I watched it, the more boring it became. In the end, one more star is given to the martial arts and stand-ins in this film, especially those who were beaten by Tony Jia, it really hurts to look at.
