Tubby action star Sammo Hung steps behind the camera for this, the sixth entry
into the Once Upon a Time in China series, with decidedly mixed results. Hung
doesn't have much grasp of cinematic technique, and even his action scenes are
hard to follow, as they're invariably filmed from too close to the action.
Jerky editing and bad framing makes matters worse. The story -- about Chinese
immigrants in the Old West getting in trouble with the nascent mafia -- is
nothing to write home about either.
Aka Huang Fei-hong zhi xi yu xiong shi, Once Upon a Time in China VI.
