Yuen Biao is a highly underrated actor for his time, his acrobatic skill and comic timing are so much better than Jackie Chan, Sammo Hung or Jet Li.
This movie trys to do sci fi kung fu and ends up looking cheap n nasty. Similar to Zu Warriors From The Magic Mountain but not as good.
Don't get me wrong all the action scenes are awesome no doubt due to Yuen Biao and Yuen Wah, but the story isn't (Ming dynasty guard teleported into the future to capture a criminal). Comedy is different from his usual methods too, not as good in my opinion.
Well worth a watch for any fan and if your looking for excellent Biao movie watch Prodigal Son or Kickboxer or Dreadnaught or Knockabout (and plenty others). You wont be disappointed if you like quick action and quick laughs :).
