There are several well-staged fights, but none with the imaginative choreography, ferocious energy, and dazzling prop work found in the first two films.

The film has a strong blend of humor, action and drama.

This is the weakest entry in the first three films of the series, with a rambling story line, fight scenes that are not staged as well as those in the first two films, and poor picture quality.

In terms of aesthetics, this is the best looking of the first three Once Upon a Time in China films.

This might be a good enough introduction, but hardly the best of the lot.

Audience Reviews for Once Upon a Time in China 3 (Wong Fei Hung ji saam: Si wong jaang ba)

although the series technically continues, this marks the end of the true "trilogy". the weakest of the three in many ways as the kung fu was more unrealistic and less inspiring, the story quite a bit weaker, and the villain less effective, the humor in this film is actually the best of the series. this film is hilarious while still maintaining a serious enough tone. although its the weakest in the series this is still a solid kung fu movie and a decent end to this trilogy.

My favorite of the original Li Trilogy. What with the China-Japan-Russia intrigue, the realization of love and impending marriage between Li and Aunt 13, the whole moving picture angle, and the Clubfoot subplot, this one has so much going on that it's a writer's dream. Plus it's Jet Li, so why haven't you seen it already : ) The more I see of Jet Li, the more I regret that he's giving up action movies, and the more I think getting older can sometimes suck. I hope he retires in Honolulu so I can study kung fu with him : )
