First the movie dwell too long into the history of the characters. All of those could have been edited to less than 5 minutes worth of screen time.
Being a classic HK comic (I used to be a big fan of), this is a really poor attempt to put it on screen.
In the comic, the settings are usually very contemporary with the real world. In the movie, many of these scenes are CGI made. Why?! It wasn't meant to be set in the future! If it is, why aren't the mobs using guns, instead of parangs? And then there is the continuity problem. Dragon Wong took a pill and recovered in a few days. But those other two, Tiger Wong and Turbo Shek (BTW what a stupid name. Black Dragon would have been a better translation), took as many days to recover from their injuries and picked up a whole new sets of ultimate moves?! I mean, for crying out loud, what is wrong? Budget problem? And being an ex-fan of the comic, Turbo Shek's Golden Bell technique was supposed to be an entirely defensive move, much like having a body hugging force field. What's with the nanchakus? He was never really strong in his attack, but is one of the strongest defensive fighters in the comic.
There used to be a time when HK movies were worth the money. Now it is such a huge let down.
