(Synopsis) OUATIC I - Jet Li stars in Once Upon A Time In China (OUATIC) as Chinese folk hero Wong Fei Hung in a modern, politically-oriented retelling of the legend. Set in the 19th century, China is in the process of being overrun and divided up by foreign colonial powers. Western ideas and influences are slowly infiltrating the East, while many of the Chinese flock to the west in pursuit of gold. Wong Fei Hung, a doctor, herbalist, and kung-fu master tries to mediate between the various factions. This earns him the emnity of various forces, including foreign imperialists, collaborating Chinese authorities, extortionist thugs, and a rival martial arts master. This eventually leads to a gravity-defying showdown in a ladder factory that has gone down as one of Jet Li's greatest fights ever. SPECIAL - contains selectable English Audio Commentary through film.

OUATIC II - This first sequel to the acclaimed Once Upon a Time in China continues the adventures of Legendary Martial Artist Wong Fei Hung, played once again by Jet Li. In Canton for an east-west medical conference, Fei Hung befriends Dr. Sun Yat-Sen, who is secretly leading a movement to overthrow the emperor and create a Chinese republic. Unfortunately, Fei Hung also runs afoul of the White Lotus sect, a fanatic cult bent on purging all things foreign from China. When the White Lotus burn down the foreign language school, Fei Hung takes its displaced students to the British consulate after being rebuffed by commander Lan (Donnie Yen) at city hall. Lan wants Sun Yat-Sen, and so he stands by while the White Lotus attack the consulate where Dr. Sun is hiding, so that he can seize him and his list of followers. Needless to say, this eventually forces a confrontation with Wong Fei Hung, who must also deal with the White Lotus and their leader, the seemingly invincible Priest Kung.

OUATIC IV - Zhao Wen Zhou takes over Jet Li's role as Wong Fei Hung in the fourth installment of the epic series.

In the year 1900 foreigners are slowly invading China. Both the Germans and the British forces are stationed and are making trouble. It's up to the legendary Wong Fei Hung and his friends to rid the country of all the corrupt officials.

OUATIC V - Competing bands of pirates have throttled the South China sea, leaving much of the land population -- even government magistrates -- to starve or have to steal for food. Wong Fey-Hong (Zhao Wen Zhou) and his kung fu students hijack one pirate vessel, raid a hidden warehouse, and achieve inevitable victory; in the meantime, Rosamund Kwan competes with another sweet young thing for the master's affections.

OUATIC America - Jet Li returns to his most famous role - and reunites with director Tsui Hark - as the legendary Wong Fei Hung in Once Upon a Time in China and America, the sixth installment in the OUATIC series. This adventure begins in the old west, with Fei Hung, along with his fiancee Aunt Yee (Rosamund Kwan) and his student Seven (Hung Yan Yan) travelling by stagecoach to visit his former disciples Po Chi Lam and Bucktooth Sol, who have set up a medical practice in America. They are attacked by Indians, and in the ensuing melee Fei Hung falls into a river. He loses his memory, and is adopted by the Indian tribe, who give him the name "Yellow." Meanwhile, the racist mayor of the local town hires a gang of vicious bandits to rob the town's bank so that he can pay off his loans. When Yee finally finds Fei Hung, it's up to Seven to restore his memory, which he does by re-staging Wong's greatest battles from the previous OUATIC films. Even then, their troubles are not over, for Fei Hung is framed by the mayor for the bank robbery, forcing him to bring the real villains to justice. SPECIAL - English Dubbed.
