Okay, I'll admit it: I don't get the whole martial arts thing. Sure, I watched the TV show Kung Fu as a kid, still like David Carradine...but that was about it. I fell asleep during Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (at home, not in the theater) and never finished watching it. I didn't like Kill Bill, I don't read manga, I just don't get any of it.

But the Dog Master told me to try this...and he was right. Not only is this movie accessible to those like me who don't do the whole Hong Kong Cinema/martial arts movie thing (although I could tell there were a lot of references I was missing) but it's funny. And charming.

It's about a bunch of crime lords who make a move on the poorest alley in town, full of low rent people...who happen to include three martial arts masters who take apart the bad guys...and then a wannabe who finally gets his wish.

This one is a winner, it's well worth seeing.
