Wuxia at its best. Awesome movie.
By a customer , 05 Dec 2011I have seen this movie dozens of times.
As a fan of the wuxia genre this movie captures the essence and effortlessly touching nature of a good martial arts story.
The fight scenes are well choreographed and the plot is pacy. Even my Chinese girlfriend who doesn't rate most kung fu movies available in the west loved this one.
Characters are well portrayed and developed.
A better example of the genre than Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon by far.- Was this review helpful to you?

No monkeying
By DaGift (2 reviews) from Grangemouth , 17 May 2011If you got this film in your collection, then you know you're gonna be watching it again & again. This film is THE GREATEST HARDCORE MOVIE OF ALL TIME & has the most ground-breaking fights scene ever choreograph that all movies are now using wire-works for their fight scenes. Donnie Yen has got world-wide recognisation as action/director/star from been in, TIGER-GAGE, IN A LINE OF DUTY, to be in BLADE 2 & SHANGHI KNIGHTS that he even choreograph the ground-breaking film STORMBREAKER.- Was this review helpful to you?

The Ultimate Kung Fu Classic.
By H0LLIE (198 reviews) from UK , 23 Jul 2010As far as I am concerned it doesn't get any better than this. Spectacular choreography with incredible execution, good acting (provided you don't watch it with the abysmal English language dubbing), dramatic direction, and a compelling story line to boot.
Iron Monkey is in effect a Chinese Robin Hood, stealing from the rich to give to the poor.
This is the film that introduced me to Donnie Yen, my favourite martial arts star ever since. This is also the film that introduced me to Yuen Wo Ping, and it remains his greatest work - Crouching Tiger and The Matrix can't hold a candle to this.
If you're a fan of Chinese Kung Fu then Iron Monkey comes very highly recommended.- Was this review helpful to you?
