 The Story in a Nutshell

 In Summary

 Benefiting from a true story, this is an action packed film with a great storyline and great fight sequences.

 With Huo (Jet Li) being the most famous fighter in China, this film guarantees countless number of incredible fight  sequences with the world’s most famous living martial artist. The end scene involving weaponry (3 piece staff vs  Katana) is particularly spectacular, and will have you researching all sorts of dangerous objects online to see if you  can buy one and learn to use it like the film’s hero!
