The Unity of Heroes

The plot, as the above synopsis indicates, doesnt go for the broad historical sweep and political intrigue of Tsui Harks first installments, but is a cheesy and simplistic affair that evokes an episode of The Wild Wild West rather than a page of the life of a folk hero. Luckily, comical interludes are kept rather light and occasionally amusing, such as when the westernized 13th Aunt asks to eat with a fork and knife upon which a very willing Bucktooth brings her a sword and a trident. Amusingly for a film about super-fighter experiments, music from Marco Beltramis score to The Wolverine is tracked in on a few occasions.
