Last Hero in China (released in the Philippines as Once Upon a Time in China-2) is a 1993 Hong Kong martial arts film written and directed by Wong Jing. It is a derivative of the Once Upon a Time in China film series, and unlike other imitations, it can be considered a spin-off or parody to some extent.[citation needed] It was released after the first three films in the Once Upon a Time in China franchise. The film starred Jet Li as Chinese martial arts master and folk hero of Cantonese ethnicity, Wong Fei-hung and the action choreography was done by Yuen Woo-ping. However Last Hero in China differs greatly in tone from the Once Upon a Time in China films as it contains stronger elements of violence and broader, more slapstick, comedy.[citation needed] The film contains some Easter eggs, such as a Lifebuoy poster in the 19th century,[1] a staff of the Monkey King, a guandao and Ne Zha's Universe Ring.
