Once Upon a Time in China

Once Upon a Time in China 1991

黄飞鸿之一：壮志凌云 huángfēihóng zhīyī： zhuàng zhì líng yún

In late 19th-century Canton, legendary hero Wong Fei-Hung battles foreign forces' (English, French and American) plundering of China. When Aunt Yee returns from America totally westernised, Wong assumes the role of protector. This proves difficult when his martial arts school and local militia become involved in fierce battles with foreign and local governments. As violence escalates, even Aunt Yee has to question her new western ideals, but is it possible to fight guns with Kung Fu?
