The third installment in Hark's Wong Fei-Hong franchise, sees Hung (Jet Li) and his sidekick Chung arriving in China just in time for the Empress-sponsored Lion Dance kung fu invitational. But Wong has other concerns to deal with--including winning back his secret love Yee from Tumanovsky, an evil Russian diplomat/spy who plans to assassinate the president! As if that isn't enough, he is to face his fearsome rival Thunder Foot in the competition. Li's formidable martial arts and acrobatic skills blend with a healthy dose of humor to create a worthy installment to this popular series.

Why do I even try? The only thing I can say here is he’s marrying his Aunt for Christ sake, is this Chinese film? Can they do that over there?

It’s more of the same as the first two… bad acting, bad voice dubs, good action sequences and some slight comedy.

I see why America embraced Jet Li as they did because he is a great talent but I cannot wrap my mind around the incest undertones in this series.

Clubfoot I believe his name was is a great character and his martial arts style was really interesting, his character had growth and his story was beautifully written and for these guys that's shocking.

I’m still waiting for somebody to write these types of screenplays, I know I’m writing one and all but I mean I’d love to read some (Maybe some exist but I’ve not seen them)

Anyway fun classic Jet Li.

Movie 6 out of 10
DVD 2 out of 10 (Comes with an English dubbed version, nothing else.)

My least favorite of the first three, but not by much.

I agree with your point about Clubfoot, he really is a very interesting character who changes through the story, something which cannot really be said for any character in the first two.  

I kind of felt at points that there was something missing from the action in this film.  The hits often didn't seem to have quite the same power they do in the first two, and it seemed like there was a lot more jumping around and a lot less full-on fighting.  Still, much much more impressive than the average kung fu film.
