Last Hero In China
''Last Hero in China'' is a 1993 Hong Kong martial arts film written and directed by Wong Jing. It is a derivative of the '' Once Upon a Time in China'' film series, and unlike other imitations, it can be considered a spin-off or parody to some extent. It was released after the first three films in the ''Once Upon a Time in China'' franchise. The film starred Jet Li as Chinese martial arts master and folk hero of Cantonese ethnicity, Wong Fei-hung and the action choreography was done by Yuen Woo-ping. However ''Last Hero in China'' differs greatly in tone from the ''Once Upon a Time in China'' films as it contains stronger elements of violence and broader, more slapstick, comedy. The film contains some Easter eggs, such as a Lifebuoy poster in the 19th century, a staff of the Monkey King, a guandao and Ne Zha's Universe Ring. Plot Wong Fei-Hung now has his own school of Kung fu, but its premises have become too small for his numerous students. Two of his disciples, Leu ...
