Action choreographed by world-acclaimed fight-director Yuen Woo-ping (‘The Matrix Trilogy’, ‘Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon’ and ‘Kill Bill 1& 2’) and starring martial arts superstar Jet Li (Hero, Kiss of the Dragon, The One and Unleashed). Filled with vibrant emotion, poignant historical narrative and showcasing some of the most incredible fight sequences ever devised for film, "Once Upon a Time in China" recounts the adventures of legendary martial arts master, Wong Fei Hung, as he battles ruthless imperialist forces determined to subjugate his country with a terrifying new weapon - the gun! Inspired by Sergio Leone’s "Once upon a time in the West", this matchless work by veteran director Tsui Hark combines powerful characterisations, breath-taking cinematography and fluid, high-energy fight sequences to deliver one of the most memorable and groundbreaking martial arts action-adventures of the last decade.
