3.0 out of 5 stars
Not a bad edition to the saga, July 13, 2000
This review is from: Once Upon a Time in China 4 (DVD)
Even without Li Lian-Jie, this movie still flows. Chiu Man Cheuk does a descent job of stepping up and playing the lead character. If Jet didn't do such a superb job in the previous titles, you wouldn't have noticed the change.
The story, in my opinion, is just a rehash of part 3. It's a similar plot, without the romance subplot between Wong Fei-Hung and Peony.
But the jewel in this movie is the character development of Club Foot (aka Seven). Max Mok is a refreshing sight in this flick.
Definitely better than Once Upon a Time in China and America, but too similar to part 3.
Worth a rent, maybe a purchase.

4.0 out of 5 stars
a pretty good movie even without Jet Li, September 19, 1999

This review is from: Once Upon a Time in China 4 (DVD)
This was an improvement over OUATIC III and that movie boasted Jet Li. I didn't think that this movie was as horrible as people made it out to be. It's always tough to replace a lead actor but somehow they got this movie to work. Of course, it's not Jet Li but then again it's not garbage. If people want to see a good "let's kick some butt" Kung Fu movie, then I don't think you'll be disappointed with this one.

Fantastic!, September 26, 2008
This review is from: Once Upon a Time in China 4 (DVD)
First off you have to look at this as not another Jet Li movie. The wire work is excellent, the skill is fantastic and the story line is great. This is Action packed. And you will not be disapointed. Its that good trust me. The writer who said its not worth watching has no clue about Gung Fu, this Star is a Star in his own right. And the movie wasn't not just put together. They took their time to show a very true boxer rebellion in China. Get this if there are any left. The is a discontinued DVD But there are a few left out there this is a Gung Fu Classic for sure!
