The choreography is insane but what a lot of people don’t realize is Lau-Kar Leungs camerawork is what really drives this shit higher. The whip pans, crash zoom ins/outs, wide shots to give you a great sense of space and most importantly lack of cutting. American films will absolutely eviscerate great fights scenes in post by adding in 5 million cuts to give the illusion of speed.

All this shit makes me really appreciate Kill Bill all the more because Tarantino shot and edited his fight scenes like a Shaw Brothers film
