KineticSeoul This is a really cheesy movie with vampires and martial arts mixed into one movie. The movie was cheesy in the beginning to the point, I thought it would completely suck. This is a very low budget with cheap set pieces and cinematography. This is a very goofy vampire flick and not just because it has hunters that do kung-fu in a lame manner with lame props to hunt them either. The premise is just uber lame and kinda dull at times, the acting is especially bad. Some scenes though are so random and unbelievable that it's actually sort of funny though. Also the random slapstick humor just worsens things. This movie doesn't take itself serious at all, but it's still not a effective movie. It can even get a bit annoying at times to watch.3.5/10
peterwang-1 Great vampire action film with Jackie Chan. Well directed although not by Stanley Tong who usually directs Jackie's films.Really cool action movie where super-Jackie Chan adds his usual spectacular kicking and acrobatics. This one, contrarily to the average, actually HAS a plot, and the acting is not as bad as in other movies. But going to the full-show style, few excellent scenes including some wonderful fights against the vampires. Very funny, super butt-kicking and super-Jackie!Jackie Chan is the future of action films said Luke Perry and I agreed with him them. It proved right.
BA_Harrison With a film starring the Twins, Ekin Cheng and Edison Chen, nobody should expect a masterpiece of cinema. What you do get, however, is a fun film which is easy on the eye and the brain. There are loads of Hollywood-style vampires (no hopping Chinese bloodsuckers here), cute girls, handsome heroes and the occasionally very funny moment. And Jackie Chan.Sure, the kung-fu relies heavily on wire work and CGI. Sure, the script reminds you of Blade. And sure, the whole affair is instantly forgettable.But for a truly enjoyable piece of cinematic fluff, you would be hard pushed to find better.
olsonmike2000 I saw this movie in Blockbuster and thought it might be a good Sunday evening movie when there is nothing else to do. So I bought it used, 3 DVDs for $25. Although it was cheap, my money would have been better spent on a nail to drive through my foot.The film started out nicely. Kinda Dark and mysterious. I was always enthralled with vampire and samurai movies as a kid. I thought the combo would be really cool. The first fight scene was pretty cool. I was excited for the rest of the movie. Then the movie took a serious nose dive.I understand that this was a big hit in the east. I guess because of the twins. I don't see it though. This movie, aside from the first 10 minutes, was absolutely horrible. So many movies in this genre have the potential to be great, and blow it terribly. This is just another casualty.Jacki Chan's role in this film doesn't make any sense at all. Whyyyyyyyy? Complete silliness. He probably made a few bucks off it though.The only cool thing in this movie are the swords they use. Nice idea.I wouldn't recommend this movie to anyone.
