Once Upon a Time in China IV

Not one of the better ones in the series; it's a little tricky telling III apart from IV, with both having attacks on foreigners and a big Lion Dance festival. This one's most notorious moment is the guy who punches a horse in the face. Like the others, this careens wildly between some good martial arts and some really silly sequences; it also has some interesting "villains" that don't really get to do much. The Godzilla-like monsters were pretty funny but not memorable.

the fighting scenes with dragon/lions are awesome, the story i can't really tell what it was about, because the subtitles where so very small and at times so fast, i just could not read it.

A movie made because the series was still profitable, even though they ran out of story and the main actor of the previous entries couldn't be bothered. But a man does punch a horse.

the plot is all over the place, and it's disappointing that what was an interesting idea for action scenes with the lion and dragon dancers in part 3 becomes overused and poorly done in this installment. Chiu Man-cheuk is a decent replacement for jet li, but does a better job in part 5. hark tsui shouldn't have let someone else direct.

Okay Movie
