After winning the “Lion King” competition in part 3, Wong Fei-Hung (Zhao) is invited to participate in another competition. This time, the different foreign powers making a stake in China will be taking on Wong and his team — which includes his sidekicks Fu (Mok) and Clubfoot (Hung) — in a thinly veiled sort of “war game” designed to scare the Chinese into submission. While training for the competition, Wong runs afoul of the Red Lantern Sect, a vicious group of women who are determined to get the foreigners out of China at any cost. Wong’s love life also takes a strange turn when Aunt Yee’s sister, May (Wang) falls for him.
This film takes place immediately after part 3, and is somewhat a continuation of the “Lion King Competition”. This time the naughty foreigners are the Germans, and there’s a group of radical female Chinese terrorists out to destroy them (like the White Lotus Society in part 2). Lao Wen Zhiou replaces Jet Li as Wong Fei Hung, and although his presence is not as intense as Jet’s, he proves to be an impressive fighter. Rosamund Kwan is replaced by the prettier Jean Wang as Aunt Yee, but the chemistry between her and Lao Wen Zhiou is not as convincing as the chemistry between Jet Li and Rosamund Kwan. Still, they are perfectly acceptable replacements. The fighting is good and plentiful, but relies a little too much on wire tricks, and Billy Chow shows up as a great creepy looking bad guy.

Fair movie, good action,
My interest was to see Clubfoot as a main character, and he really is in this movie.
Zhao Wen-Zhou instead of Jet Li, and he moves fine! Maybe the main factor that makes this movie in an inferior rate to the first 3 is the lack of Tsui Hark as director.
the movie is good enough, good fight sequences and good chemistry between the cast!

|Question,
Is this movie in Cantonese with an option to English dub? Or is it just in English without Cantonese. I am looking for the Cantonese version with subtitles.
Thank you!
