Lots of action and it makes you laugh as well. I would recommend seeing this one. It is very entertaining and lots of fun to watch.

Overall, a great martial art movie! 5 out of 5 stars.

A lot of low rating reviews are too picky. They pick out a single thing in the movie and say the whole movie is bad. I was surprised by a well rounded fantasy story mixed in with Chinese folk-tale. You simply can not compare it to the Chinese movies. Those tend to be darker with complex relationship and usually the fighting and killing are ruthless with body parts getting ripped apart. Maybe that is why reviewers are saying this is more family friendly. Overall, the story was well thought out. The kung fu fighting scenes were intense and top quality. All actors did very well in portraying their characters. I never watched it because I heard bad reviews from critics when the movie came out. Finally saw it. And I was thoroughly entertained. In terms of showing it to kids, there are still some spots of violence that are not for kids. I probably would limit this movie for kids at least 14 years old. One more thing. The bonus features are fantastic. I have the single disc version and it has quite a long list of bonus features. Make sure you watch all the bonus features!

i am a huge jet li fan and of course HAD to have this movie. and i did really like it. i think i would have liked it more had it not beed overdubbed in english and had no chinese language option. something for the studio to think about when they undoubtedly end up rereleasing it.

This is what it is, people - action and comedy 4 out of 5 stars.

All right, so this movie isn't the best work Jet Li has done. It's not really the point. This is fun, mindless action and I really enjoyed it. True, the dubs on the English version are hokey. And that mask was a bit much, LOL - the point is people need to stop acting like every movie has to be Oscar quality and just grab some popcorn and have some fun once in a while.

An Incredible kung fu movie! I recommend it to all martial arts lovers and fans of Jet Li. If one admires good kung fu fighting and interesting plot - this is it! This and the rest 2 parts of the trilogy are the best movies that Jet Li has done! I love it!

very well done 5 out of 5 stars.

this film, made in 1991, is definetely a classic masterpiece. keep in mind that there this film was made on a small budget. martial arts films have gone through a definite transition since the 1990s. these films have never been made on a fair budget and have never celebrated the popularity that they have today. the sixtees and seventees were a terrible time for these films. the 1990s werent really a good pick up either, until this film came along. though it is no exception to the budget problem back than, it does manage to have incredible visuals with great lighting and perfect sets. the films at this time were also subject to slight comedy that isn't usually accepted well by americans. again this isnt an exception for this movie but in this case its rare and it actually works to its benifet. the story is wonderfull because its fresh. The other "once upon a time in china" films weren't celebrated as well because they followed the same story.

but this film could stand alone because it has such emphasis on the story and emotional asspect (mind you, not as much as the more recent Martial Arts films) and the choriograghy was some of the best i've ever seen. they could even beet the more recent films like Hero and Seven Swords. a perfect 10 out of 10!

Do not waste your money. 1 out of 5 stars.
4 of 4 people found this review helpful.

Unfortunately, I must agree with the negative reviews above. I own every single title released by Dragon Dynasty and have always been very pleased, not as much with the selection of titles (some are just ok, nothing great), but mostly with the quality of their transfers both in terms of sound and picture quality. And the extras are good as well. However, here comes The Enforcer, the latest Dragon Dynasty offering, a Jet Li vehicle that is far away from his best efforts. The movie itself is watchable, fairly entertaining, overacted but nicely choreographed. The extras, though scarce, are fine as well. But the transfer is plain bad. The image is not as clean as any other DD title (even the oldest ones); it is easy to tell it has not been remastered. However, the main problem here is with the audio track: there is only one offering, a dubbed English track. And it is dreadful, and it makes this film a heck of a nightmare to watch. For as far as I am concern, this shows a lack of respect for us, the consumers, on the part of DD and its parents and/or affiliates and I would like to strongly urge you to not buy this movie and, if you have already bought it, to return it and wait for a proper release of this film.

Basically an encyclopedia of the greatest kung fu scenes ever filmed. . . 5 out of 5 stars.
3 of 3 people found this review helpful.

First off, buy the "Once Upon a Time in China" Trilogy, not Collection. Collection has far more technical issues than the Trilogy. Unfortunately, since Amazon groups all of its reviews, there's confusion as to which version is being referred to.

Second, there are 6 movies in this series. The first 3 are the ones to focus on (and the ones sold in this package). 4 and 5 don't star Jet Li. Number 6 (Once Upon a Time in China and America) stars Jet Li, but has a different director (Sammo Hung) than 1-3 did (Tsui Hark, HK's Spielberg-some would argue) and is, at best, mediocre.

The OUATIC series is about the adventures of Wong Fei Hung, a Chinese folk hero. This character pops up a lot (as a child in Iron Monkey, Jackie Chan's character in the Drunken Master series). Each portrayal is very different and most aren't based but on the slightest detail to the actual historical character. But that aside, here's what the movies are really about:

Yes, Jet Li's character struggles with a HK overrun with British Imperialists and the woman who loves him and all the drama that follows and. . .honestly, no one really cares. The story is an odd mix. When there aren't action sequences, much of the story plays out like a routine period piece. The story is decent and worth a look, but subsequent viewings will have you simply skipping ahead to the action sequences because. . .

. . .these are simply the best collection of HK/Kung Fu/Wire Fu fight sequences you will ever find. You have an actor at the top of his kung fu game with choreographers who are given a lot of freedom and creativity to use the actors talents, all captured by a director at the peak of his powers. These fight sequences are the stuff of legend, the yardstick that all kung fu fights are measured against. Not to take anything away from other flicks of Jet's like Fist of Legend or Fong Sai Yuk, but these are the best. And to get them all in one package for such a cheap price is nothing short of criminal. I paid a small fortune to get these three films from HK before this version was released.

You'll see some of the most innovative and intense wirework, skill, and choreography you've ever witnessed, stuff that makes the Matrix look tame by comparison, despite coming out years before the Wachowski's ever put word 1 to paper. Every scenario you can imagine is captured, Jet vs. 1, Jet vs. some, Jet vs many, Jet with weapons, Jet with bare hands, Jet with props=like an ubrella, Jet vs. flaming arrows, Jet vs. boss characters in the most insane environments you can imagine. I can't stress it enough, this is as good as it gets. Even skipping over the story, the fight scenes will entertain you and your next several generations long after you're gone. Simple as that. If you're into Kung Fu flicks and somehow have slept on this one, just buy it.

Very awesome movie, I haven't seen the Bruce Lee movie this was based on but I'm sure they followed the story well. Very good action and fight scenes.

Great martial arts film. One of my favorite ever and one of jet Li's best. 4 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

I love jet Li and enjoyed this film greatly. Fantastic fighting scenes,many of the supporting martial artist did a fantastic job not just Li. It has a pretty good story line considering the genre. Jet Li comes back to the school he left to find his teacher dead and the Japanese lording it over his fellow students and trying to close the school down. Also you have a little competition with his best friend who is in charge of the school now. Many of the people in the school look to jet's character as the leader and not his friend causing conflict between them. One of jet Li's best films in my opinion. If you are a fighting film fan then you will enjoy this one. I also like the fact that the film has a few good Japanese characters unlike the original film that it was based one. And I thought his biracial relationship with a Japanese woman and the racism they dealt with was a nice touch.

Not much that I didn't like about this film to be honest. Their were a few changes from the Bruce lee film that I didn't like. In the original Lee really was killing Japanese. He poisoned one and hung another. I felt that they wanted to make jet's character more of a good guy and just had him framed for murder rather than really killing Japanese. also the original film didn't have a happy ending with Bruce lee getting shot up which made it stronger in my opinion. The fighting is better in this film that the original,but I liked some elements of the original better like lee being more of a ruthless violent killer who had had enough and was going to kick some butt and kill whoever got in his way.

A great film and well worth watching for fans of martial arts films,jet Li fans and fans of the original Bruce lee film.

Simple but stylish 5 out of 5 stars.
5 of 5 people found this review helpful.

I loved the openning scene. It's quite stylish. The story is simple but effective.

I saw a few compliant in here but as a Chinese I thought I'd give my 2 cents here. I feel that the movie evokes a deep emotion for me as how a classic hero would do in the most difficult times. When their country is surrounded by multiple external invasion forces and oppressed by it's own corrupted govenment, your fellow countrymen mostly cared for themselves and some are even preying on their own for profits, few are still willing to fight for a better future. The hero in this story is not just Wong but those two men who are willing to give up their lives to fight for their countrymen. Wong, again, caught up in the middle of uprising and must utilize his kung fu skill to battle for his beliefs and his love.

I think this is the best of the entire series. If you are only to get one of the series, please get this one.

rent it if you must but don't believe everything you read... this included of course.

INTERESTING CONCEPT WITH DABBLES OF LAMENESS 3 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

Interesting concept regarding a man who was brought up as though he was a cage fighting dog. He lived in a large metal cage that had all the amendities of prison plus a children's ABC picture book. Later, we learn that his mother who was murdered by thugs (you'll have to watch it to find out which thugs), was also a brilliant pianist, which was why he had a heightened interest in pianos. So when, by chance, during a thug operation, he met a blind man who was piano tuner, tuning some pianos in the same warehouse the operation took place, a seed of decention was formed. Later, he ran off and was taken in by the blind man and his daughter where he was treated with love and humanity.

However, certain glaring problems arose. Being raised in that cage from boyhood, who taught him to fight? I suppose he can't read and write since all he had was the ABC book. And I can't see how someone who has grown up with such violence could suddenly develop a conscience. Or if one had a conscience, would not have shown signs of resistance in some passive aggressive way against their captors. When he was taken in by the family, it was like he returned to where he left off as a boy.

I think this movie was not meant to be analyzed. It was entertaining. The collar thing was interesting. Of course, the fight scene was fun. The family was enduring. A good movie to watch when you want to unwind.

Editorial Review:

Master filmmaker Quentin Tarantino presents HERO -- starring martial arts legend Jet Li. This standout Special Edition, remastered and including an exciting new bonus feature, is a visually stunning epic where a fearless warrior rises up to defy an empire and unite a nation. With supernatural skill -- and no fear -- a nameless soldier (Jet Li) embarks on a mission of revenge against the fearsome army that massacred his people. Now, to achieve the justice he seeks, he must take on the empire's most ruthless assassins and reach the enemy he has sworn to defeat. Acclaimed by critics and honored with numerous awards, HERO was an Oscar(R) (Best Foreign Language Film, 2002) and Golden Globe nominee.

With sensational, nonstop martial arts excitement supplied by the acclaimed choreographer of THE MATRIX and CROUCHING TIGER, HIDDEN DRAGON, IRON MONKEY is the spirited tale of a mysterious and mythical Chinese legend -- now with pristine picture and theater-quality sound on Blu-ray Disc. In a desperate and unjust land, where government corruption rules the day, only one man -- known as the Iron Monkey -- has the courage to challenge the system and fight back. Under the shadow of night, in the silence before dawn, he fights to give hope to the poor and the oppressed. Although no one knows his name or where he comes from, his heroism makes him a living legend to the people -- and a wanted man to the powers that be. Presented by Quentin Tarantino -- it's the exhilarating action adventure critics everywhere have called one of the greatest martial arts films of all time


The action legend himself -- Jackie Chan (SHANGHAI NOON, RUSH HOUR) -- explodes across the screen on Blu-ray Disc in a power-packed adventure that critics agree captures some of the most incredible action stunts ever. when the British government is discovered smuggling precious Chinese artifacts out of the country, folklore hero Wong Fei Hung (Chan) uses his uniquely outlandish style of martial arts -- Drunken Boxing -- to fight the conspirators and salvage the valuables before it's too late. And the more Hung drinks, the more agile he becomes -- able to fend off numerous attacks with unbelievable moves. With Chinese treasures and family pride on the line, Hung steps up to every challenge. It's a fun and unstoppably entertaining hit in Blu-rayHigh Definition.

Inventive and bold, this film shines with pristine picture and theater-quality sound on Blu-ray Disc. In an empire ruled by fear, the people's only hope is the ultimate weapon: Zatoichi (Takeshi Kitano) -- a blind, nomadic samurai whose sword has made him a hero and whose courage has made him a legend. Determined to help the desperate residents of a village, Zatoichi seeks justice through revenge. It's a wildly entertaining film that's even more brilliant in Blu-ray High Definition
