Why i liked this film

I can sort of understand why people are saying "Far fetched" parts in this movie but i reckon when people say this they are being biased. Would those same people say that the Bourne movies were far fetched? Or at least even if they do, would they make a point about that on IMDB?

KOTD is a good movie because:

1) Its violent - far too many martial arts movies are too tame
2) Great fight scenes
3) Great revenge scenes - the bad guy at the end getting his comeuppance was perfect
4) it made you emotionally squeemish - injecting someone against their will with Heroin is a pretty *beep* up thing to do.

I like it. I like Jet Li!

Fully agree on those points!

It also had some very amusing moments - like the series of "no" answers when Li and Fonda are talking in the shrimp chips shop, with the last being a startled, vehement no in response to her questioning if he's gay. I know a fair few people didn't like her in this, but I thought she and Li played off each other pretty well. :)

The violence and fight scenes were great. But the dialogue, narrative and story were very bad.

The fight scenes were rather good.
