The fighting throughout the film is exceptionally good - Iron Monkey and Donny are fantastic together. The little kid is a also a fantastic fighter and he takes up quite a bit of screen time demonstrating his skills. The effects that accompany the fighting are sometimes over the top but it all adds tro the fun of the film.

The story is also very enthralling and complex for a kung fu film. The characters are all believable and there are many memorable characters - the governors guard is a great one and his last line in the film is a classic.
This film really is very good - probably my second favourite kung fu movie of all time. It's worth the money, definitely one for the collection. I must have seen it over 10 times by now and it never tyres. You have to see it, if not just for the little kid kicking some serious ass.

DVD Description
Yuen Woo-Ping's exhilarating martial arts film stars Yu Rong Guang as Dr. Yang, a kind family doctor who charitably provides medicine and care to impoverished villagers, along with his assistant, Orchid (the lovely Jean Wang). Yang, however, also masquerades as the crime-fighting Iron Monkey, who robs gold from the rich and gives to it the poor, much to the dismay of the corrupt local governor (James Wong). When famed fighter and physician Wong Kei-Ying (Donnie Yen) and his young son, Wong Fei-Hung (crossdressed actress Tsang Sze-Man), wander into town, the cowardly ruler captures the boy and pits his father against the elusive Iron Monkey. Eventually, the heroes must unite to face an even greater foe--a renegade Shaolin master (Yen Yee Kwan) and his treacherous lackeys. This Chinese variation on the legend of Robin Hood is a good-natured (and often funny) action movie that features numerous outstanding fight scenes (including a battle fought on poles over a raging fire) and a surprising amount of cooking (yes, cooking). The film is the prequel to Tsui Hark's ONCE UPON A TIME IN CHINA series, which follows the adventures of folk hero Wong Fei-Hung as an adult. IRON MONKEY is particularly revelatory due to the amazing action sequences directed by Woo-Ping, who went on to choreograph the intricate fights of THE MATRIX and CROUCHING TIGER, HIDDEN DRAGON.
