Synopsis
Jet Li is Wong Fei Hung the expert martial artist and Chinese doctor. He is living in an era, though, where western influence is beginning to upset the balance in Chinese society, and corruption in the government is becoming too prevalent. Through a series of events, he discovers that some westerners are kidnapping and smuggling Chinese people out of the country, for use as slaves - one of the people kidnapped is his aunt. This sets the scene for the final fight as he tries to rescue her, and not get killed by the westeners. Add to this another kung fu master who wants to prove his name by beating Wong Fei Hung, and a highly political overtone to the plot, and you have yourself one of the best martial arts films to come out of Hong Kong.
