This is a great martial arts flick with 2 fantastic performances from David Carradine and Beandon Lee!. It's got some really cool fights in it, however if your looking for a martial arts film with lots of action look elsewhere, but if you want a Martial Arts film, with a great plot and a great story, with some cool fight scenes, and a bit of action you have come to the right place!. Mako is awesome as the main villain, and i loved the flashback scenes, as well plus, the finale is great and very exciting. The ending was great, however i wished Brandon had more screen time, it was still extremely cool to see David Carradine and Brandon Lee in the same movie together!. This is a great martial arts film,that's smart and intelligent, i am now going to buy the TV series on DVD, and check out, the movie as well!. The Direction is very good. Richard Lang does a very good job here with some cool shots, good camera angles, and he kept the film at a fast pace!. The Acting is WONDERFUL!. David Carradine is amazing here, he is extremely likable, mysterious, had great dialog, kicked that ass, and was tons of fun to watch! (David Rules!). Brandon lee is AMAZING as he always was, however he is quite creepy here, with limited dialog (except at the end),and always had an intense look on his face!, he was wonderful (Brandon Ruled!). Mako is fantastic as the main villain, he is extremely menacing unpredictable and just rocked overall!. Kerrie Keane didn't convince me here, as she was rather annoying and her chemistry with Crradine was off. William Lucking is good as the dirty cop. Rest of the cast are awesome. Overall i highly recommend this great martial Arts flick, i am going buy the TV series on DVD, and see the movie as well!. ***1/2 out of 5
