the last two aren't so great but the second was equally as awesome.
I have seen the 2nd, 3rd and 4th. I think the first three are equally awesome and very entertaining.
Jet Li shines as Wong Fei Hong. As for the fourth,
Once Upon A Time in China and America, is nothing but a waste of time. Yes,
Jet Li is back but director
Tsui Hark isn't. BTW, the
Once Upon A Time in China series contains about 7 films.
Li doesn't star in three of them.

I'm going to save any further comments about this film for my next "Quick Reviews #9," so it might be June before it's ready.
One question, T-850: you didn't mention any comparison to A Fistful of Dollars. Have you seen it? and if so, what did you think of how Leone adapted this story to a western? (by the way, the uncredited-Kurosawa sued Leone and won!).
Glad to see that you had the time to view
Yojimbo Mark.
As for the comparison with
A Fistful of Dollars: We all know that
Clint Eastwood has so many movies that you can't even keep up with them! I have seen
A Fistful of Dollars several times but its hard to remember anything.
The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly is the #1 Eastwood movie for me and definitely the #1 film I've seen the most times.
Since I didn't mention any comparisons with
A Fistful of Dollars and
Yojimbo, I'd like to see you do it for "Quick Reviews #9"
