I caught this via iQIYI recently. I also see it available via Hi-yah. I have not tried Hi-yah before. The movie was a very shortened version of The Condor Heroes. It is near impossible to to put all the storylines into one movie. With that in mind, I just had to figure out what was missing and make it go away in my head. From that side, I actually liked the movie a lot. It was well made in my opinion. This movie is borderline B-movie as it was not released to the theatres but direct to the web for iQiyi. But it is of better quality than then most of the other b-movies from iQiyi. Give it a watach and see how you like it.
