    Nice stuff.
    Although I am becoming less and less a fan of movies that make kung fu what far too many "larper's" want it to be, I do admire good choreography.

    no

    Not that good IMO. The fights were not shot that well and used too much fast cutting.
    I much prefer the old HK style from the likes of Samo, The Yuen Clan, JC etc and the master Lau Kar Leung.
    Problem is just because you think you are a good martial artist doesn't necessarily mean you are a good screen fighter. Don't forget that Leung Kar Yan (aka Beardy, aka The Brigadier) was a superbly gifted screen fighter who had no formal martial arts training.
    A good action choreographer can make anyone look good on screen.

    I found this interesting little gem

    No release date yet but vid claims no CGI and no wires.

    Trumped again! Well, I looked for it under the Martial Media thread...
