Sorry, this movie sucks

The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.

It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny

This is an all star cast film with Wong Jin directing, so you can expect high caliber action, and production. It was probably the peak of silver age of Hong Kong cinema when this movie was made, and we see two gorgeous actresses Chingmy Yau, and Chun Man as the two lady leads, and Jet Li and Sammo Hung doing the male lead. The story is little contrived in the middle, but they save all the good actions until the end. Wong Jin's directing and production is good. There's always one more treat at each scene that makes watching this movie rewarding.I only wish that there are more actresses like Chingmy Yau these days, who are pretty and gorgeous at the same time. Jet Li saves all his talent until the very end. He was not so well known outside of Hong Kong back then. Sammo Hung is spot on as the master. All this makes this movie an entertaining piece.Good movie from the '90s that almost looks like it was made in the 21st century.

WOW!!!! These were the thoughts that filled my mind as I watched this movie. It has amazing "New-school" action that satisfies the imagination. This movie focuses on characters whose abilities are larger than life. It's all-out martial art madness as the various schools of Kung-fu battle it out. The movie gives credit to Shoalin, Wu Tang, and other schools and each showcases its best fighters and unique fighting style in this battle for supremacy. Be prepared for plot twists. I was left begging for more and hope there will be a part two, even if Jet Li isn't in it. The story line of this movie was great and could have definitely continued on. The only thing to be desired is a dubbed version, regardless, this is a must see movie!

Some of the comments I see disgust me. If you think this movie is horrible, you need to actually see some really bad movies before you waste everyone's time writing crap. If you see this, get the "Kung Fu Cult/Colt Master" version, not the "Lord of the Wu Tang" version. This is a pretty light-hearted movie. Good action, lots of wire work, and some funny characters and subtitles. It has a lot of characters, so it's tough to keep straight who is who. But the movie's good enough to watch at least a few times, so it gets better with each viewing. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who likes the newer style martial arts movies and has an imagination.

The Evil Cult is without a doubt the worst Jet Li film I've seen to date. In the subtitled version I saw a very difficult to understand synopsis flashes across the screen. It says something about who the good guys are and who the bad guys are, but that doesn't really matter as allegiances change back and forth several times during the course of the movie making it hard to tell who is good and who is bad.This movie is supposed to be a comedy and it fails at even that. Bad jokes about morning erections in poorly subtitled English don't go over well. Neither does the running joke, or obsession should I say of two characters whose sole purpose in life seems to be plotting the rape of every female they see.The only aspect of this movie that made me laugh, aside from how bad it was, was the Green bat character. Never once is he referred to as a `vampire', however he wears a cape, can fly, turns into a bat, and drinks blood. Perhaps they don't call him a vampire because Chinese vampires HOP! (See Mr. Vampire for an example of this.)Those who have said Jet Li can't play a romantic role are dead on about this film. Not that the writers of the film gave him much choice, leaving the romance up in the air at the end of the film. If you watch this movie watch it for one reason: the beautiful maid Jet Li's character has yet never does anything with.Lastly, the kung fu in this movie is horrible. Beyond horrible. The use of wires and special effects greatly mask what Jet Li is capable of martial arts wise. The Kung Fu is totally based is fantasy and comes off as looking outright ridiculous and silly. This movie should only be watched by die hard Jet Li fans who either want to see every jet Li movie made, or to see Jet Li at his worst. 2/9 stars, and I'm being generous with the rating of 2, due only to the sparse and scant salvageable martial arts scenes in this movie.
