Film Threat - Unnamed
Despite my ignorance of Hong Kong, I'm convinced that Iron Monkey could be the best, most entertaining martial arts film I may ever see.

Los Angeles Times - Kenneth Turan
If Asian martial arts movies interest you even a little bit, you're going to want to see Iron Monkey. Not only that, you're going to want to see it more than once.
90
New Times (L.A.) - Andy Klein
It's funny, heroic, exaggerated and, most of all, energetic; the film speeds along as though afraid to lose the audience's attention for even a moment.
90
Wall Street Journal - Joe Morgenstern
Now the movie can be seen for what it was all along, remarkable by any standards.

Slate - David Edelstein
A rollicking, comic-book Robin Hood plot and more furiously entertaining fight scenes than the ones in Ang Lee's solemn martial-arts art movie.
