  Basic story splits into two with the ancient china story very good.

  Bad, bad, double bad
  
  Sadly, dreadful. The dialogue was amateurish and the convoluted plot (?) didn't work at all. Disappointed with Jackie. Shoot the director.

  This one is more like Indiana Jones and even includes a scene with a Cobra. The Dialogue if listened to in Cantonese or English refers more to what is ... read more »

  A poor effort.
  
  At first glance this should be brilliant, Jackie Chan, a story encompassing ancient and modern China, how could it go wrong? The problem lies in the fact that ... read more »
