Once Upon a Time in China

Even though I have never seen any martial arts sequences to match the ones in this immensely spectacular and colourful martial arts film, there are still a good deal too many in my point of view.

The story is set in late 19th century Canton where the charismatic and upright Wong Fei-hung (Jet Li) has to protect his martial arts school from bandits, blackmailers, corrupt government officials and foreign troops. In the middle of this seething unrest Wong's relative Aunt Yee arrives and is put under his protection, but of course the beautiful, Westernized woman falls in love with her protector.
