A FEW FANS OF THE OUATAC SERIES MAY BE OFFENDED, VERY UNLIKELY THOUGH.......2006-03-23

But if you are a HUGE HUGE HUGE fan of Jet Li playign wong fei-hung, like I am, then this will be a VERY funny movie for you.

The story starts out with a some outlaws being chased by the government, and these guys are pretty tough. One of the guys took a guard by the head and threw his body onto like a shelf or something and the guys body cripples in half like he was holding a pillow.

You are going to get a lot of that type of action. I am a HUGE fan of the old school peking style that Lau Kar Leung used, I love the hand to hand. And while you don't get too much of that, you get enough and the stunt are really cool.

Now my favorite part of this movie are the ones where he has this CRAZY general talking to Wong, I can't even explain the way the guy was acting, it was sow eird and it was also kinda cool. So Jet is sitting in a chair and the general is asking to see his kung fu skills and the general is so close to the face(on purpose of course) to Jet's face you can just see how great of an actor for making it this whole scene without busting out laughing. CAUSE THE GENERAL WAS THE MAN, HE IS THE ONE WHO MAKES THIS MOVIE FUNNY, JUST TRY TO TELL ME THAT THIS IS NOT THE GREATEST VOICE ACTING JOB IN THE HISTORY OF DUBBING, but I will get back to this when I tell you the dvd that you should seek out.

So I don't want to give the story away cause it's not that great but very very funny.

So like I said in another review of this, remove everything you knew about the OUATIC series except leave wong as a serious guy. Then make everything that happens around him just a strait up slap stick comedy and see how wong react, it is absolutely hilarious.

Now I wanna go over some of the reasons you should see this movie.

WONG FEI-HUNG VS. MASTER KILLER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Beardy and bucktooth reunited, to know about this you have to go 11 years before this film was made and watch legend of a fighter. It is my favorite MA movie EVER, and I have a review on this on the vhs side under secret master. The chemistry was absolutely beautiful in that movie.

IF YOU ARE A FAN OF JET LI, THEN I SHOULD GO AHEAD AND TELL YOU THIS IS MY 2ND FAV JET LI AS WONG MOVIE EVER. so in other words I rate it #2 out of the 5 he was in.

BUT I ALSO RATE THIS MOVIE ABOVE LEGEND 1 AND 2, ENFORCER, EVIL CULT, KISS OF THE DRAGON, OK I GUESS I SHOULD HAVE LISTED THE ONES I LIKE MORE INSTEAD CAUSE THIS IS LIKE A TOP 3 JET MOVIE FOR ME.

I'm not a fan of most of of Jing Wong's stuff, but this one I feel is one of his better efforts, ALSO JET'S ACTING PERFORMANCE IN THIS RIVALS THE 1ST OUATIC MOVIE. SO DEFINITELY ONE OF HIS BEST ACTING JOBS.

Now the dvd that I have is 105 MINUTES LONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i mean it wass almost too freaking long for me, now how often does that happen in kung fu. How many people said in secret rivals like oh I wish they would have cut out some of the training sequences or that funny part could have gone or the final fight could have been a bit shorter? The version that I have is from Red Sun. It is full screened but the movie has a very good picture and the full screened seriously does not even affect anything!

SO OVERALL A VERY WEIRD MOVIE AND YEAH JUST VERY WEIRD. BUT DEFINITELY FOR ANY JET LI FAN, SO PLEASE TAKE YOUR TIME TO SEEK THIS OUT AND DO NOT BUY THIS VERSION, CAUSE IT SI NOTHING BUT BAD REVIEWS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Also the sountrack to this is the freaking shiznit.

Strange spoof.......2004-06-06

Whoever produced this movie tried hard to spoof the original Once Upon a Time in China series. I'm honestly surprised that Jet even took this role. Nonetheless, this film does have its interesting moments. The guest appearance by Gordon Liu is also a treat for genre fans.

You don't want this version!.......2001-11-02

When I first put this DVD in I noticed that they cut away the opening, then the movie starts and I can't believe my eyes as the quality of the DVD is even lower than my VCD version, this is just frustrating to watch. The subtitle cannot be change or removed since it is fixed onto the movie, the subtitle is in chinese and english use at the same time, the quality of the image is so below par that the subtitle at times can't even be read. Another thing is the audio, you can't switch between Cantonese and Mandarin like on my VCD, yes this too was fixed to cantonese only. There is no extra features, you might as well buy a VHS tape, which would probably be an improvement on the picture quality. It does look like they tranfer this movie from an overused VHS tape with no other intention then to sell it to unsuspecting "customers"(read victims).

Chopped Version of Last Hero In China.......2001-05-16

I agree with Michael Van about the clipped version " Deadly China Hero" as I own "Last Hero in China" which is the movie in its orginal presentation and with Subtitles. This is actually, if placed in order of sequences by year, the Fourth "Once Upon a Time in China" series before OUATIC IV/V came out. Nonetheless, you have to watch this movie as it has, as usual, great martial art scenes. I own all but OUATIC IV and most of Jet Li's DVD's that are available. The 6th version of OUATIC is "Once upon a Time in China and America" also starring Jet Li. Though this may be the 4th Jet Li did as Wong Fei-Hung, you do not have to see the three previous OUATIC's. Order is not important with this version of Wong Fei-Hung but the tales of this Martial Artist (a real actual Chinese Hero) is. Get this DVD and try to get "Last Hero in China" also. In fact, get every Jet Li movie made. You will not be dissappointed. This man is our replacement for Bruce Lee.

Warning: Clip Job - Search out the Original.......2001-02-14

The other user comments are technically correct. The film is great... in its original version. "Deadly China Hero," however, is a clipped version of the film "Last Hero of China." I highly recommend the original film instead of this one, which cuts out several crucial scenes and important subplots. There's no reason to settle for this hacked-up version.

The incomparable Jet Li stars in this furious action/comic spectacle as a Chinese "Robin Hood", who stumbles upon a kidnapping scheme, after unwittingly opening a martial arts school next to a brothel. This film contains scene after scene of breathtaking martial arts acrobatics and a monumental battle with the Master Killer (Gordon Liu). Choregraphed by Yuen Woo Ping ("The Matrix", "Drunken Master", "Iron Monkey"), this is truly a martial arts classic in the tradition of Li's "Once Upon a Time in China" series.

In Last Hero in China, Jet Li reprises the role of Wong Fei-hung, a legendary figure in China. Both a doctor and a teacher of martial arts, Wong has just moved his school in Canton, only to discover that the neighboring house is a brothel. Though Wong's students are delighted and the earnest brothel master only wants to study with him, Wong feels he has lost face. But this becomes the least of his troubles: soon he's fighting a corrupt police chief, a temple of slave-trading monks, and a deafness-causing medicine sold to children--and that's just in the first hour. Last Hero in China is a grand melodrama, featuring exaggerated heroes and villains, goofy humor, and hyperbolic kung fu action. The plot takes some hard-to-follow turns, but the action is so nonstop it hardly matters. The lion vs. centipede dance/fight has to be seen to be believed, to say nothing of the priest with a floating lotus chariot and a flying claw. Jet Li is in fine form, Gordon Liu (as the venal top cop) is maniacal and despicable, and the lovely Cheung Man plays an expert martial artist looking for her kidnapped sister. The character of Wong Fei-hung also appears in the Once upon a Time in China series (where he was first played by Li) and in Jackie Chan's Drunken Master movies. --Bret Fetzer

Kung-fu fun.......2002-07-14

This movie is better than I thought .... It's more Kung-fu comedy than anything. Usualy the charactor Wong Fei-Hung is a bit to serious and stiff. To see him in a comedic setting is quite refreshing and him dressed in a chicken suit fighting the centipede was hilarious. I enjoyed it so much that it's now a part of my Jet Li movie collection. The man is a versatile actor and very good martial artist.

Interesting Combination.......2002-01-16

Before reading this review you should know that this film is the same movie as "Last Hero in China."

This film is, as the title of this article proclaims, an interesting combination. Combination of what, you ask? It is a combination of the Historic Chinese Martial Arts extravaganza and a Tom Green movie. What makes the film interesting is that the combination is not as bad as it sounds. Jet Li once agains plays the role of Wong Fei Hung, as he did in the Once Upon A Time in China historical epics, but this Fei Hung is a very different character from the more serious Fei Hung (particularly in the first OUATIC) we are used to.
In essence this film takes the fairly standard school versus school and style versus style conflict and extends it to a Dragon dancing competition (mirrors of OUATIC here, but wait) with Jet Li's masterful Dragon dancing interrupted by a villain in a Millipede suit. Jet Li loses the initial competition, due to various circumstances which include the villain's nepharious influence. Jet Li recovers and battles the Millipede in a Chicken Suit in the final battle. Chicken suit? Yes, a chicken suit. I told you there was a touch of Tom Green in this movie, or is it Adam Sandler? Doesn't matter.
Typical of the Jet Li/Wong Jing pairing films this is a less than serious affair. If you go in expecting wonderful wuxia wire-fu and a few laughs in a no budget free for all you will have a great time. Jet Li is an amazing martial artist and somehow this film works. But if you've come looking for Fist of Legend you are in for a serious shock in this film.

1337 Drunken Boxing.......2002-01-05

This movie is perhaps one of the zaniest kung fu movies I've seen. There's men in drag, Cartoony fight scenes, and of course, Jet Li dressed up as a chicken fighting a giant centepede.

One of the good things about this movie, is that the fight scenes are very original. There aren't any ones with two guys standing in an open area facing off in a cliche fight scene. There's a fight scene where Jet Li never gets out of the chair he's sitting in. There's also one where he's holding onto a bouquet of flowers and one handedly defeats three goons. The best fight scene is the final show down between Jet li and Gorden Liu. Jet Li performs an amazing Drunken Boxing technique which is far better than Jackie Chan's in Drunken Master.

Another good thin about this movie is that allthough they use excessive wire stunts, many of them are still beleivable and actually contribute to the fight scenes. The end fight scene, where Li comically bounces off walls and lands on ropes must have used wires, but doesn't look fake at all. There are however some scenes where the special effects are horrible and unnessessary. For example there is a fight scene where Jet Li lifts his leg and kicks someone behind him in the face, and they use a fake leg that looks like it should be attached to a muppet.

Another Problem with this movie is the plot and subtitles. The plot has something to do with the opium wars, Wong Fei Hung trying to start a new school, and women being stolen and sold as prostitutes, but that's the best I can do to summarize the plot. What makes the plot so hard to follow is partially the fact that there's a plot turn every ten minutes. However the biggest problem is the sub titles. Many Hong Kong movies have a tendency to have subtitles which are in white and are displayed over the movie instead of underneath it or in a box. This makes it impossible to read half of the subtitles because they are in white writing over a white picture such as most of the characters' shirts.

This movie is pretty good. It has very creative and impressive fight scenes. However there are some shortcomings in the special effects and storyline.

Awe-inspiring! Yuen Woo Ping at his best........2001-11-25

This film is what I beleive to be the greatest Once Upon a Time in China entry by far. Matched only by top films such as Iron Monkey and Twin Warriors, this one is a must see for martial arts fans. The scene where Jet Li is dressed as a rooster is actually really cool and it leads to a wicked end battle which stands as one of the greatest fight sequences in cinematic history. If you're a kung fu enthusiast, buy this film immediatley you will not regret it.

Nice Chicken outfit.......2001-08-27

Originally titled "The Last Hero in Chine." A nice twist on the Wong Fei Hong storyline, with Master Wong moving his martial arts studio, unbeknownst to him, next to a brothel. The righteous master can't have that, but it turns out the brothel helps him defeat the baddies. A ridiculous display of Jet Li fighting in a chicken outfit is quickly made up for with a brilliant display of drunken boxing. Jet Li is his usual charismatic self, and Yuen Woo Ping can be counted on to deliver every time...
