Donnie Yen has been a favourite for some time, and this film is an instant classic in a large circle of martial arts movies.
Its intense and well choreographed action and fight scenes put Yen front and centre, and it's about time he got the recognition he deserved and this extraordinary movie is a great showcase of his talent, a must watch!

Great homage to martial arts films of old, with 88+ baddies against the disgruntled bride out for revenge and to destroy Bill and his band of highly trained followers.
Once again Tarentino hits hard with great action and an even better build up, we see only part of the brides journey in this installment and it is one hell of fantastic part 1.

Really didn't live up to the hype. I was hoping for some wow factor in the film to show how the East does an action/horror film with lots of martial arts. This is all very low budget effects and the story isn't great at all. At the end I couldn't wait for the finish, dragged out to nearly 2 hours!

Jet Li v Jackie Chan ...well for one scene at least. This is a great martial arts, fantasy film that seemed to not get a cinema release?! I find that very strange considering this is the first film to feature Chan and Li together. It has the same fight choreographer from The Matrix, Kill Bill and Crouching Tiger! The fights are truly awesome. Add some humour, a little adventure, good SFX and an all round good cast, makes for a great film. The start reminds me of some of the great fantasy films of my childhood like Never ending story. It's no coincidence that the old martial arts series Monkey is on the TV towards the start, as this film has a similar feel to it as that. So if you like the sound of any of that check this out.

Aug 12, 2017
The Nut Job 2 isn’t atrocious, however, most glaringly it suffers from a case of being forgettable. Besides a decent cameo from Jackie Chan as a mouse who is a martial arts expert, the animation does not offer anything unique

Hong Kong/Thai action thriller
The fight scenes in this film are up there with some of the best in any film made. It's let down by some cheesy bad guys with one liners who stand there and send the lackies in, but other than that this Hong Kong thriller set in Thailand is a heck of a fun action packed ride.
