While the distribution company is known for its leisurely "Well Go USA" just getting ready for December release, on the website YesAsia.com from October 12, everyone can purchase the Hong Kong version of the film Patrick Leung "Udan" (Wu Dang) on discs in three formats: VCD, DVD or Blu-ray.
During the formation of the Republic of China, rumors spread that a treasure was hidden on Mount Wudang. An American conspirator plans to kidnap him, and he and his daughter, who is good at kung fu, go there under the guise of sponsoring a Taoist martial arts tournament. Suddenly, a student representing Wudang appears at the tournament, wanting to compete with the masters for the title of champion. During the competition, infighting begins between the various parties and relationships become complicated. Meanwhile, a Korean woman, a descendant of the Tai Chi masters, falls in love with an American conspirator and reveals the secret of the hidden treasure. The treasure is the basis of the magnetic field of Wudang Mountain, and if it is stolen, it will be destroyed. To protect Wudang, young heroes band together, intent on defeating the great masters. The time has come to restore the long-lost martial arts of Wudang...

So it's a matter of taste. For me, a large number of cables is 90% of the UG from the very beginning. There are exceptions, but generally I normally perceive cables only as an addition (such as to make a person fly further away or fall more sharply), and not as the main tool that makes supermasters out of any actors.
I remember... Jet Li infuriated me in his Fearless with words like “We wanted to show real wushu, and not like in America, where they put on cables and everyone flies like supermen.” “What about you?” I thought =)
I don’t know...I never liked Michelle in fights
Dear Celpaso, it’s not about the cables themselves, but about who flies them and how they are used. For example, in “Once Upon a Time in China” there are not enough cables, BUT they are very organic there within the framework of Chinese action films. If masters fly on cables, and these flights are also choreographed and filmed by masters, then we get a high-quality film with BI in a traditional Chinese format. As for the slender young singers, I will object to you here too. Michelle Yow has held the mark for many years, although, as far as I know, she was not a master of BI. I'm not even talking about Yukari Oshima and the like. The current generation of Chinese actresses can’t even do the splits, and they can’t even swing their legs! Although even now there are talented girls ("Bad Blood" for example). And therefore, considering Ving Zhao in the title role, I expected much more from the film! And I was very disappointed not specifically with the cables or singers, but with the quality of the result as a whole! UH, in my purely personal and non-professional opinion. Peace for everyone! :)
“I was looking forward to this film, I watched it, and I was only upset... I’m sick of these slender, untrained and extremely unconvincing “singers” on ropes who playfully throw healthy men around!!!”
I don’t understand... is it really not clear from the very beginning from the frames, posters, and plot that there will be enough cables and that the main character (despite her delicate singing background) will scatter everyone, no matter how ridiculous it looks.
A few (which I don’t remember) historical Chinese films are shot without scenes in fights and singers who love to twitter in interviews so much that they love kung fu since childhood, I don’t remember them looking at least somehow normal in movie fights against the backdrop of real masters of cinema (of which there are plenty in Asia)
I liked The Four. In places, of course, it’s boring, but for fans of detective stories it’s good if you don’t expect cool fights from it. At some points the special effects creators wanted to applaud. “Wing Chun” is frankly weak, but I didn’t watch “Ghosts”, I didn’t even want to.
I don’t know what kind of disappointment we can talk about... In my opinion, this is a worthy representative of modern, and most importantly popular Chinese cinema, standing next to such films as “The Four”, “Gong Fu Yong Chun” and “Chinese Ghost” Story 2011".
I completely agree - this film is the disappointment of the year ((((
Complete disappointment! :( I was looking forward to this film, watched it - and was only upset... I'm tired of these slender, untrained and extremely unconvincing "singers" on ropes who playfully throw healthy men around!!! Vin Zhao has a kind of secondary role, he in this film is generally incomprehensible, with all due respect to it. Apart from beautiful landscapes and general plans (I’m not an expert, but in my opinion they are computer-generated) there is nothing to see in this film. The Chinese have completely deteriorated, they have switched to bare-bones bullshit... :( Alas, Alas...
