Browsing Best Buy, I happened upon a box set of three movies called Once Upon A Time In China and its two sequels. IIRC, they starred Jet Li.
My own tastes in martial arts films are very low-brow: I don't want plot, story, etc. I want violence, cool action sequences, and lots of it.
While I recognise Li's talents, his American movies have just been to lame for me, what with all the wires and special effects. I like seeing skilled martial artists kick the crap out of each other.
I was hoping that these Chinese films may offer that. Is this so?
