I was totally surprised at how great this film.You could feel your paranoia rise as the film went on and as you gradually learned the details of the real situation.

It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.

It starts at the Forbidden City with a martial arts demonstration and the narrator tells the story so far. Sam has become an official by order of the emperor. The corrupt officials offer him an arranged marriage to get him on their side. She is hot but Sam already has a girl and will not be corrupted. This will not go well for our Sam.This is the last movie of a three part series. It is also the last movie for Do Siu-Chun and Zhang Chang-Jun, two great martial artists. The series goes out with a fizzle, too much drama and not enough fights. The plot point, obvious from the title, is completely unnecessary and poorly executed as the missing arm seemed only hidden under his shirt.Overall, could have been better, but once you watch the first two you might as well watch this once.
