I love kung fu movies, especially ones about Wong Fei-Hung, but I was not a fan of Once Upon a Time in China. And I wouldn't call it a classic, as it came after the golden age of martial art movies, and was standard fare for it's time. However, I have to admit that the thing with the bullet at the end was pretty fun.
If you want to see Jet Li at his best, check out The Shaolin Temple from 1982 (his first movie).
