Title: A new spin on Wong Fei-Hung
Review: Director and OUATIC series creator Tsui Hark bravely puts a new twist on the legend of Wong Fei-Hung in this fifth chapter in the series. As emphasised by other reviewers here, firearms are fairly prevelant in this episode; although they complement rather than overshadow the martial-arts action. Personally, to see WFH dodging bullets while kicking heads made for lively viewing in my opinion.Man Cheuk Chui plays Wong Fei-Hung pretty well, but in the acting/charisma stakes, he's obviously no Jet Li. Where he does shine is in the well choreographed action scenes. Spinning and kicking for all his worth, here he does give Jet a run for his money! In fact all of Wong's sidekicks are given space to show off their martial moves, with Clubfoot in particular displaying some powerful kicking.In conclusion, while it doesn't reach the epic heights of the earlier Jet Li chapters, OUATIC 5 is a well-paced kung-fu movie that provides action, comedy and drama in equal measure.
