Fun kung-fu action drama. Mark Chao as Detective Dee is charming and humorous. Feng Shaofeng as the driven Justice Dept. Chief Minister Yuchi has many aerial fighting scenes and brings a deadline urgency (he has to solve the case in 10 days or face execution) that Detective Dee lacks. Shantuo is a humorous sidekick doctor, perhaps suggesting a Dr. Watson to Detective Dee's Holmes. The case is more incredible than the original Detective Dee & The Phantom Flame, but still enjoyable. It was nice to see the sea monster based on a different marine animal than usual.
