Thanks for the correction Mic. You passed the test! 🙂
How is that a billion of these types of films get made each year in China/Hong Kong? They all get progressively worse as well. I just tried watching the new Detective Dee film and it is terrible. I’m not sure if Hark is even capable of making a “realistic” film these days. League of Gods I actually enjoyed but most of these fantasy films are huge disappointments and a waste. These super talented people are all stuck in fantasy land for some reason and it is driving me crazy. It’s cool to se Andrew Lau back doing these films though. These were his bread and butter back in the day. I still dig A Man Called Hero, The Duel, Storm Riders etc..
“I just tried watching the new Detective Dee film and it is terrible.”
That’s the best of the 3 and Hark’s best work since Seven swords.
Aman called hero is a terrible “thing”, so we don’t share the same values…
