Critics reviews

[Legendary Weapons of China] remains an exceptionally good film from a man with a catalogue of them. It has a narrative that remains constantly intriguing, comedy that fits into the overall whole and choreography that is always inventive.

‘Legendary Weapons of China’ is one of the few martial arts productions to address the collision between hand-to-hand combat and the firearm. In so doing, it gives the action a very intriguing context to work within. Yet this is ultimately a flawed film where a powerful opening and strong finish are bookends to a weakened middle chunk... [Still,] there is much to savour here.
