What an incredible martial arts adventure! Simply put, this is one of the best action movies I have ever seen, with furiously breathtaking action choreography, great characters, and a nice, lighthearted sense of humor. Dr. Yang (Yu Rong Guang) moonlights as the "Iron Monkey" a Robin Hood-type hero who steals from the rich (and corrupt), and gives to the people in need. His nemesis is the power-hungry Governor Cheng (James Wong) of the city of Chekiang. This man is so greedy, he is married to nine wives! Cheng assigns a traveling physician named Wong Kei-Hung (Donnie Yen) to apprehend the Iron Monkey. If he fails to do so, the governor will take Kei-Hung's son, Wong Fei-Hung (Tsang Sze Man, an actress playing a male) as prisoner.
Iron Monkey is a wonderful film, full of exhilarating energy and impressive martial arts choreography. Each character in this film displays an amazing array of moves. Some highlights include: an awesome impromptu rooftop between the Iron Monkey and Kei-Hung; the night battle between Kei-Hung and a group of corrupt Shaolin monks; and the climactic battle taking place above a fiery pit. Though Yen and Yu are the stars, actress Tsang Sze Man steals the show with a few astonishing moves of her own. If you loved Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, but felt the film was a bit too philosophical, you will appreciate the lighthearted and fun tone of Iron Monkey

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.
