This movie goes straight to online in china.
Another FX laden wuxia with none of the heart of the original.Tsui Hark and Ching Siu Tung were innovative in achieving their vision on a low budget. And no one can hold a candle, not even that wannabe Van Damme to Brigitte Lin’s charisma. Just my drunk opinion.
“Written by Wong Jing ”
Truly the stamp of highest quality in Chinese film.
“Special starring” Sammo Hung.
And another clickbait for cityonfire.com!
