Review of Legend of the Wolf (1997) by Hector L — 15 Dec 2007

I can't believe people are so split on this movie. Donnie Yen does a fine job as director and his fight scenes may have been a bit different for the time but a ton of people have stolen the style. (Specifically american martial arts movies) I'm not a big fan of Choppy, kinetic-you can't see what 's going on- zoom in fight scenes but compared to today's standards it's actually quite minimal here.

In fact there's a nice mix of it with slow mo. Plus Donnie deserves credit for trying to be original and pushing boundaries.
