- I don't think many westerners will get to see Once Upon A Time in China 1 & 2,
- since they are deliberately not subtitled. (If I directed a film with 19th
- century white kung fu experts called "Tiger" who spoke perfect Cantonese,
- I'd make sure it wasn't subtitled. :-)
- Jet Li was the one using the umbrella, right? Impressive, to say the least.
- What styles is he best known for?

- *** Actually, Once Upon a Time in China 1 and 2 are both subtitled. I've
- seen them both in my local cinema, which specializes in showing obscure
- films. They're distributed by Golden Harvest, which also handles Jackie Chan'
- s films.
