The OG by King Hu told a great story but lacked very hard in the action department.
This remake flips it around and now I had a hard time following wtf was happening with the plot, but HOLY MOLY the action is pure insanity!
From the long and dragging one-dimentional swordfighting of the OG to the flippy fast pace tornado madness of the remake, yeah no doubt I love this more version more.

Domestic abuse freeze frame where Sammo Hung has his wife in a military press ready to give her a pro-wrestling move might be the GREATEST freeze frame ending in all of CINEMA!

Did SRK really say at the climax "it wasn't the journey or destination, but the friends we made along the way" and it somehow made everybody tear up?
