This movie is based on the famous martial arts novel of the same name, which is also turned into a radio show, and cartoon.
If you want to see some real actions, then this is the one. Unlike other Taiwanese and Hong Kong martial arts flicks which employs actors instead of martial arts athletes simply to boost fame, this movie employs real martial arts athletes so all actions are real, there is no cranes, no cables and no special effects, and like Jakie Chan movie, the fighting requires the actual contact of the bodies, and only very light protective pads are allowed, and for most of time, there was none, so the fights were as realistic as they can be.
