1103 - Once Upon A Time In China (1991)
Can Master Wong navigate China into the 20th-century and past the obstacles of modernity, invasive western culture, and a whole host of outside threats to tradition? \xa0Of course he can. \xa0But even he\u2019s got to admit: he looks pretty good in a boater hat and sunglasses. \xa0Tsui Hark\u2019s epic kung fu period action/comedy pits western powers, local corruption, modern technology, and the stubborn refusal to adapt against a ragtag group centered around a fighting school and its stoic martial arts master played by Jet Li.
