More than an action movie this is a live action kung fu cartoon.
- The opening battle between the residence of the slum house and the two Harpists is amazing, thrilling, and completely one of a kind.
- Stephen Chow may be the star, but all the best lines wind up in the mouth of the angry Landlady played by Qiu Yuen.
- Great Quotes: "You may know kung fu... but you're still a fairy." - Landlady (Qiu Yuen)
"Let's kill them all and make this place a brothel." - Axe Gang Advisor (Kai Man Tin)
- This movie is the ultimate pop culture stew with elements of this movie being inspired by movies as widely diverse as West Side Story, Casablanca, The Blues Brothers, The Karate Kid and Spider-Man.
