REVIEWED By Marjorie Baumgarten, Tue., Aug. 22, 2000

Also known as Once Upon a Time in China VI, this sequel was written by Tsui Hark and filmed partially in Texas. Li re-creates the role of the blockbuster series’ legendary fighter for justice, Wong Fei Hong, although this one is filmed as a Chinese Western.
