Once upon a time in China 3

This isnt yet another movie from the series but a very sensible mix of colors, culture, martial arts, romance and fun. Jet Lee is pretty neat as usual and so is the action choreography of the movie. Rosamund Kwan is great in the movie. The story revolves around martial arts schools as the other movies in this series, but focuses on the grand Lion Dance competition which is a visual and martial arts treat. I usually like the way the movie(& the series) portrays the way China absorbs the modernization, how it affects the existing culture and people and how blind violence is used to create problems & true martial art (principles) solve those problems. Anyways, its very entertaining !
