Starring; Andy Lau, Anita Mui, Maggie Cheung
Genre; Wu-xio
Year; 1993
Release; UK HK Legends
First off, wu-xio (wushu, fantasy swordplay, whatever) is not my favourite genre. It has to be a good one for me to like it. Fortunatly, this is one. Mui was one of my favourite asian actress' (before she was cruelly taken from us, prematurely), and here she does well, as does the great Maggie Cheung. Lau is his usual self, slightly overdoing it as he usually does in this genre. Beautiful visuals, as you'd expect from this type of film, done well. An enjoyable piece of fantasy, although they can fuck off with the Free Willy shit.
