(DVD, Image Entertainment)
A man who spends too much time training and ignores his wife vows revenge when he catches her with another man. She uses her connections to get him arrested and sent to another city, where he gets involved in a war between "bandits" and a corrupt government. He gets plenty of help from his friend and sidekick, a martial arts master, who does most of the dirty work. Based on a classic Chinese text, this tries to be an epic-style movie, but instead there are just endless characters and situations making it very difficult to follow any kind of story. The fight scenes are front and back loaded, but quite bloody once they get going.
