Customer Reviews of Fist of the Red Dragon
5 stars for Beggar So...none for Wong Fei Hung This another portrayal off wong fei hung righting wrongs in his home town, and now he has a partner Beggar So(Donnie Yen) to help him.Let me just say that Donnie Yen is magnificent in this movie and all his fight scenes are great to watch.I place him up there with the magnificent four alongside Bruce Lee,Jet Li,and Jackie Chan.He's just so fast and I've never seen anyone kick as fluent and consistent as he does.The film...well, the plot is the usual Wong Fei Hung trying to rid of foreign opium traders and opium all together while a corrupt official tries to prevent that...Beggar So gets thrown in the middle and becomes an addict himself by the official, who wants to use Beggar So to kill Wong...plan fails, So gives up opium, and he join sides with wong..the movie's best fight scenes are only the ones with Donnie Yen...The actor playing Wong is kind of weak...not only that, but this movie gave a really bad portrayal of Wong...First off, Wong does't kill women regardles of whether they're bad(he killed 2)...Second, he doesn't look to kill willingly...In this movie, it seems like if someone needed to revenge his/her masters death against some official, Wong says, "No prob...Don't worry"...huh?...historically, Wong is not this kind of person...and lastly, no one ever takes Wong's fights...although i was glad Donnie came in to interfere and fight the last guy, the real Wong doesnt allow that...stick with Jet for Wong Fei Hung portrayals...nonetheless, Donnie was great as usual, but what kept this far from 5 stars were the inconsistency of Wong, some bad acting, and a lot of nonsense moments...there tend to be fights for no reason at all...also, theres a really ugly and annoying bucktooth girl plus some guy with a mohawk haircut...id suggest viewing before owning because donnie has far more better flicks than this...check out iron monkey, tiger cage I and II (awesome), Once upon a Time in China 2 along side Jet, and Wing Chun w/ michelle yeoh...Heroes is more die hard fans...thanks for reading
Trainspotting meets Dragon Inn?????
This movie was definitely missing something, and no I'm not talking about the baby crawling across the ceiling.
I think an earlier reviewer hit the nail on the head:
"Wong FE Hong(should have been played by Jet Li)"
It was missing that one extra star. The guy playing Wong FE Hong just wasn't that good. It was obvious in the medical scenes that he just wasn't as good an actor as Jet Li.
Also, that whole addicted to opium, fighting off the addiction, etc, etc was painful to watch, what horrible acting/directing. The relationship between the Dad and Sister In-law was fantastic though. That acting/directing relationship was done really well.
The last fighting sequence made the whole movie worth watching. There is a little bit splashed here and there to keep you interested, the story is average at best, but the last fighting scenes are great.
This movie is average as a whole, worth renting not buying, but definetly worth seeing. Anyone giving this movie 5 stars bought the movie b4 seeing it, so they're bias. But watch this movie for sure, then make your decision.
4 stars based on movie not the DVD
I like Donnie Yen is always putting in alot of effert in either Directing or Acting or fight Chor.,This film really did have a couple of problems much being little short scenes maybe 10 or so seconds that made no scence.Other than that the only other complaint is the fight scenes in the first half of the movie are nothing compared to some really awsome fight scenes in the second half of the film!Here are the Pros and cons
PROS
1.Donnie Yen's on screen presents
2.In the film his character fights and becomes buddies with the ever so popular Wong FE Hong(should have been played by Jet Li)
3.The fight scenes in the second half of the movie are awsome especially the last one with tons of on screen fighters.
CONS- theres really not many
1.The english dubbing is not so good, give me the original language or nothing i hate dudding especially in this one!
2.fight scenes early arnt great but they get much better
Last note buy this if either you are a Donnie Yen or Yeun woo ping fan,or you just collect decent martial art films.Rent if your a casual movie goer.
