Wong Kei-ying (Donnie Yen), a physician and martial artist, is mistaken for a masked vigilante known as the Iron Monkey (Yu Rong); a Robin Hood style hero who has been robbing the wealthy local officials in order to provide medical treatment for the poor. The two men must team up to defeat a corrupt political regime, and protect the lives of the people whose cause they champion. (Eureka Entertainment)

Something between a folk fairy tale and a superhero movie. I like the fantasy choreography (Yuen Woo-Ping is a magician) and the overall naive optimism that radiates from this movie when the evil officials are left to burn to a cinder and the heroes then invite each other for a polite visit. I wonder if any of the cynical lines emerged only during the dubbing. ()
