It's the birth of Drunken style! But you don't know that until late in the film. It was a weird progression of a film. It's almost like "Hey the film is done. What do you mean it's only sixty minutes long? Well we better go film some more stuff"
The fight scenes were good. I especially liked it when the fight scene happened to be in a room full of jars. And not a single jar was broken. No really. Maybe not really. They find a lot of fun places to fight. In wells, over a river, on a raised platform surrounded by tigers. Who does that?
There seemed to be a huge shift in tone when they decided they needed to do more movie. The first was sort of fantasy historic china deal complete with the Gods of Wushu and then you got this semi-realistic 19th century lets get the foreign invaders out of here mega-fight. Could have Carradine delivered his lines any more woodenly? And because of Carradine, I thought his group were Americans. But if you watch the extras, which I did, they were a group of Russians.
But it was fun. Definitely a DOOM film.
