Once Upon a Time in China 3 (1993)

Wong Fei-Hung can kick seven shades of shinola out of a bad guy, but he’s a genuine amateur when it comes to romance. That part of his character is further explored in the third instalment, making it a lot funnier than the previous two. Tsui also remembers to layer the laughter with tragedy, because one without the other is only half a story.
The wire-work is once again exceptional and builds to an amazing finale that won’t disappoint fans of the series.
