A remake of Master of the Flying Guillotine, a classic Kung Fu flick starring Chen Koon Tai, who I spent a weekend with in Florida. ED might remember going to see that flick w/Dm, missing it, and winding up in some storm drains. The original is super cheesey, but to the point of being entertaining. The new one is all bad CGI, scenic panoramas, gratuitous slo mo, digital blood, bullets, arrows, cannonballs, and flying guillotines, and grandiose underlying patriotism. It might have been better in 3D as it has some spectacle. Lots of sword fights. Not really DOOM tho - it's like a bad Hollywood superhero flick. I think the guy that grows hair all over his body (like a monkey boy in a freak show) is in it. He's somewhat of a celeb in PRC. I'll have to double-check that.
