Iron Monkey is directed by
Yuen Woo Ping, the man who did the
fight choreography in
The Matrix. Basically, Iron Monkey is a
Robin Hood type character who steals from the rich to give to the poor. It is set in feudal-age
China.
This movie is incredible, if only for the fight scenes. No, it isn't perfect, but it is a fun,
action filled film. The ending sequence is
insane; where the two
heroes fight the main
villian atop wooden poles as the ground below them rages in
flames.
The
DVD of Iron Monkey comes dubbed in three languages(
Cantonese,
Mandarin, and
English]. It also comes subtitled in
nine languages (
English,
Japanese,
Chinese,
Simplified Chinese,
Thai,
Vietmanese,
Spanish, and two others).
If you like
kung-fu movies, Iron Monkey is for you.
