- "Once Upon A Time In China" I and II are some of the most exciting kung fu
- movies I have seen in years. There are a lot of lousy ones out there, even from
- HongKong, but these two certainly stood out from the rest. Part 3 of this
- series is already done and Tsui Hark is shooting Part 4 in Beijing right now,
- although Pt. 4 won't star Jet Lee. And yes, this is much better than the
- recent Jackie Chan movies. His Double Dragon (name?) was awful and "Police
- Story 3" was very disappointing. His new movie "City Hunter" is currently
- showing but I haven't seen it yet. But watch for any film by Tsui Hark for
- creative fight scenes (eg. "Swordsman II"). BTW, all the movies mentioned
- above are from HongKong, which IMHO makes the best martial arts movies right
- now.
