Customer Reviews of Once Upon a Time in China and America
A Failure on all levels I had a lot of hope for this film. As a huge fan of the first two films in this series, I was excited to see the return of Jet Li to the role that made him famous. Also, I had hopes that Sammo Hung behind the camera could only improve things...I was wrong. The story is uninspired, a mix between that Star Trek episode where Kirk loses his memory and ends up living with Native Americans and...well, bad westerns. The fight scenes, which are supposed to be the hallmark of any HK actioner, were weak and shot poorly, missing whatever art may have been there. If you are interested in the genre, avoid this picture and rent/buy the first two. You want Cowboys and Indians with martial arts...well, watch old "Kung Fu" episodes, if you must.
Some bad acting, but still up to par
Ignore the bad acting and analyze the action. Even in America Jet is unstoppable in this final film in the OUTIC series. I recommend this to all to Jet fans.
Once Upon a Time for an Average Sequel
Well, on the outside, it would appear that Jet Li had made a triumphant return to the series that made his career. In reality, this sequel falls short of the glory of the past titles. You should know that Jet Li was replaced for Once Upon a Time in China 4 and 5. (This being the sixth) Those movies were also very much below the quality of the first two. I suppose this movie does a better job than the Vincent Zhao vehicles that are OUATIC 4 and 5, but not by much. I must say these movies are very similar. I can tell you this, the storyline deals with the whole fish out of water ordeal. The big twist in this movie is that Jet Li bangs his head on a rock and thinks he is a native american indian. Then with some coaxing from his friend, Clubfoot, (read: fighting) he goes back to normal. In my opinion the romance between Jet Li and Roseamund Kwan has never been a strong point in the series. Much like Shanghai Noon, this movie goes out with a whimper, not a bang when Jet Li fights some evil looking goth cowboyesque character on top of a platform. I have to say, the fina fight scene is sub par for any Kung Fu Film and especially Jet Li. So in the end, go enjoy Once Upon a Time in China one and two. Go enjoy the gangster masterpiece Once Upon a Time in America, but be weary of the sub-par Kung Fu/Westerner that is Once Upon a Time in China and America. I recommend "Rikki-Oh" cause as far as Kung Fu movies, it's the poorest produced flick i have ever seen, but it's also the funniest. Check it out now.
