In terms of martial arts choreography, it elevates the already high level fights seen in SHA PO LANG with the all time great Sammo Hung and wushu-virtuoso Wu Jing into a whole new MMA (mixed martial arts) based movie-combat. The result are great non stop fights combining standing techniques of punches, elbow, kicks, knees, head butts, etc. with incredible grappling and groundfighting skills such as triangles, armbars, lion killers and more... The fights have really good tempo, you can tell Donnie Yen is in full liberty form the durector to do whatever he wants in terms of fights, Xing Yu does a great job receiving his punches to the face! But to me, Collin Chou is the one that steals the show! Lastly, apparently Collin Chou had a ball making this project, on this interview he mentions something about it http://www.masteringwushu.com/collin.htm Flash Point has to be the best martial arts actioner of the last decade.
