"Starring Jet Li as Wong Fei Hung, Rosamund Kwan as 13th aunt or Yee Siu Kwan, and Max Mok as Foon, this plot is more for comic relief than the first two movies. Wong and Kwan become closer, and are thinking about getting married. Yee Siu is being courted by a Russian man, who gifts her a camera, which she uses to record moving pictures if Wong and Foon practicing martial arts. There is also a subplot about Chinese land being ceded to Japan, and an assassination attempt of a Chinese royal. This meandering plot happens with the backdrop of greater foreign influence, and a royal decree inviting dance troupes in all of China to participate in a competition for the title of "Lion Dance King". Of course, there are great choreographed fight scenes, but the fairly serious tone is not the same as the other movies. Cantonese audio. "
