Absolutely. Now mind you, I watched it while drinking my weekend margaritas, so my recommendation may be tainted. Also I'm a kung-fu newbie. But those cats were rocking some fight scenes like I've never seen. There was something that was just different about them. I think a good portion were full contact. That may or may not be it. I never made it to special features to find out.

Also, I watched the international version, so I don't know how that compares to the American cut. I know one version, don't know which, was exclusive to Blockbuster.


My wife supposedly hates kung-fu movies and doesn't watch them with me. Or so she thinks. She loves Kill Bill and Jet Li. So for someone who hates kung-fu movie, she is right there within 15 minutes of the movie starting. At least for the good ones. And she was there for most of The Protector. So thats a good indication.
