1103 - Once Upon A Time In China (1991)
Manage episode 433853539 series 2779324
Can Master Wong navigate China into the 20th-century and past the obstacles of modernity, invasive western culture, and a whole host of outside threats to tradition? Of course he can. But even he’s got to admit: he looks pretty good in a boater hat and sunglasses. Tsui Hark’s epic kung fu period action/comedy pits western powers, local corruption, modern technology, and the stubborn refusal to adapt against a ragtag group centered around a fighting school and its stoic martial arts master played by Jet Li.
