    A kung fu slapped surprise

    I was expecting this to be a history drama due to the cover and title. However I was surprised to be bombarded with a stream of comedy and it turned out to be a quirkey little kung fu comedy well worth watching!

    An absolute delight

    A thoroughly enjoyable piece of entertainment , action packed, classic comedy moments and romance! What more could you ask for. The action is terrific but what clinched it for me is the comedy - I laughed out loud at many scenes. Terrific.
