Yen shi kwan biography of williams

Great blog Steve. I find this film to be fascinating especially the relationship between Asia and Jet's character as you mentioned above. I can understand why it inspired you to blog. Thanks also for including my blog in the list on the right hand side of this page.

Yen shi kwan biography of williams: Yen Shi-Kwan – Evil Master;

I noticed that someone used the link here to find my blog so thanks for that. For my fourth entry into Jetruary I decided to review what is essentially Jet's first entry into the fantasy martial arts genre. In the sequel to the classic Wu Xia epic directed by King Hu, Jet Li replaces original star Sam Hui as the swordsman Ling in what is seen as a film that not only manages to be a worthy follow up to the original but surpass it in many ways.

Ling is a man who has a love for drinking, singing and women. Along with his faithful companion Kiddo Michelle Reis they both retreat to the mountains intent on retiring from the martial arts world and lead a quiet life. However they soon get involved in a plan to rescue Master Wu Yen Shi-Kwan who has been imprisoned by the mysterious Dawn Brigitte Lin who plans on ruling over Asia using his new abilities gained from a powerful scroll granting the user supernatural abilities.

At this point in Jet's career he had mostly done realistic and traditional martial arts action and this is the first time we see him donning wires and flying through the air with all the charm and grace he possesses. The style of action is very different to that of Shaolin Temple or Dragon Fight but it's easy to see why Jet would end up going this route in his later films.
