Once Upon a Time in China

“Never was a Hero needed more...”

English, French and American forces are carving up Canton in the late 19th century, and Wong Fei Hung (Jet Li), a martial arts master and local physician, finds his school and militia pulled into the fighting. Tsui Hark sets Wong beside 13th Aunt (Rosamund Kwan), who has come home from America in Western dress and Western ideas. The fighting only gets worse, and Wong has to ask whether kung fu can stand against guns.
