ONCE UPON A TIME IN CHINA IN JOHANNESBURG

ONCE UPON A TIME IN CHINA Synopsis: ONCE UPON A TIME IN CHINA is a grandiose, epic retelling of the adventures of Ching Dynasty folk hero Wong Fei Hung, whose legendary mastery of a variety of kung fu styles and resistance to Westernization have made him the subject of dime novels and popular lore in China since the s. The subject of a slew of films, Wong Fei-Hung's popularity declined in the s in favor of "Americanized" western-style gunslingers, making this film a throwback of sorts, with a strong pro-unification political subtext, plus plenty of brilliant martial arts action.   Starring: Jet Li Rosmund Kwan   Category: Action, Martial Art   Age Restriction: NPU 13
