Once Upon A Time in China

[spaced]

I have been told that Jet Li's Once Upon a Time in China (1,2 and 3) are the nuts. IMDB backs this up Anyone else seen these kung fu flicks?? Any good?

I've got 1 and 2. The DVDs are good with lots of extras. The stories revolves around Wong Fei Hong (the Chinese Robin Hood) and take place around the time of the Boxer Uprising. The theme tune is quite well known(sung by Jackie Chan). I'm not sure if Jet Li is in the third film. 2 and 3 are sequels rather than part of a long story.

I appreciate that you say the DVD's are good with extras, but you havent said if the actual films themselves are any good? Are they good films??

[Aschenbach]

Yes they're very good films. Check them out. Lots of action, villains, music, realistic historical setting, a love story sub-plot etc. I'm gonna get the third one soon.

It's quite similar to films like Iron Monkey with (Donnie Yen as WongFei Hong's father). Jet Li is also good in Hitman and Rosamund Kwan stars in my favourites Project A and Armour of God.

funny you say that. I bought Armour of God from ebay last month, bought dragons forever and project A yesterday.

Thanks for the advice!
