It also features legends like Yuen Wah, Yuen Biao and Wilson Tong as extras/henchmen and features John Woo himself in an acting role. While it’s not the best kung fu film, it’s certainly a solid effort. It’s just that the slow speed and lack of complexities found in the fights now feel a little dated.
