Before he became Hollywood’s Romeo Must Die or The One , Jet Li starred in a wave of early 90s Hong Kong masterpieces. Among them, (1994) stands out as a dark horse. Directed by legendary choreographer Corey Yuen ( The Transporter , Fong Sai-yuk ), this film is often overshadowed by Once Upon a Time in China or Fist of Legend , but fans argue it contains Jet Li’s most raw, emotional, and brutal performance.
Let’s talk about the elephant in the room—or rather, the eunuch. The warlord, Lord Ma, is one of the most disturbing villains in martial arts cinema. Played with a whispery, psychotic glee by Yuen Cheung-yan, Lord Ma wears lipstick, giggles after murdering babies, and uses a flying guillotine and a flexible spear with terrifying efficiency.
The climax is a forty-minute final battle on a burning wooden fortress. Jet Li fights Pai Mei while his son fights off Pai Mei’s elite guards. It is exhausting, bloody, and deeply satisfying.
: It’s not a Wong Jing movie without some lowbrow comedy and bizarre tonal shifts. One minute you’re watching a brutal execution; the next, there’s a slapstick fight involving a fake corpse.
