This is an insult to every martial/asian movie made. The acting is horrible ie the blacksmith. It is painful to the ears and eyes. If Mystery Science Theater 3000 was still on the air I would suggest this movie for ribbing...especially since it was nominated for worst actor, supporting actor, and actress. Save your money and watch Manos...you would enjoy that more than this piece of crap.

I love fantasy Kung Fu where the fight scenes are over the top ala Crouching Tiger, but thus way way overdone with a horrible script that is all over the place. The costume design and sets are great and the Lion clan looks dope. If you're gonna rent, don't expect much. You might fall asleep like I did.

Maybe I watched this with to high of expectations but I was disappointed by how seriously this movie tried to take itself when it could have been much more enjoyable if it were much more cheesy. Also had too many dead end scenes, mostly in the early Pink Blossom / Jack Knife setup. And don't get me started on the abrupt and unnecessary detour we took to get the blacksmith's back story. Crazy, creative acts of violence, cool, that's what i came for. But it felt like mentorship from Tarintino stopped there
