KUNG FU HERO WANG WU is a rare Chinese martial arts drama about a Chinese patriot joining an uprising against the corrupt Qing dynasty in its dying days. The film feels very much like one of the Wong Fei Hung movies that Hong Kong have been making throughout the decades. The villains of the hour have greater characterisation than usual and there's a great deal of court intrigue and the like to keep the plot moving swiftly along. The fight choreography isn't on par with that found in Hong Kong cinema but it's certainly adequate and the quantity of action helps this work.
