Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.
View MoreI think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
View MoreEasily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.
View MoreThis movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.
View MoreThis is a fantasy action movie set in ancient China, where a swordsman named Fragrant Chu (Aaron Kwok) seeks the legendary liquid sword to battle an evil warlock dubbed Batman (Ji-Wai Lau).Filled with colorful costumes and luscious landscapes, this is a pretty adventurous film from start to finish, boasting some sophisticated martial arts and sword-wielding action. Kwok played an OK lead in the movie, being wooden at times in his performance. However, the story is supported by a large cast of characters, most notably Chingmy Yau who plays Flowerless opposite Kwok. The pair had some touching chemistry and romantic moments together that gave the film a dramatic touch.Other actresses include Gloria Yip, Anita Yuen and Winnie Lau, who played the ditsy handmaidens Red, Sweetie and Ron, Loletta Lee as Batman's lover; Fennie Yuen as the swords-woman Chung Yuan; Sharla Cheung as the Jellyfish, keeper of the liquid sword; and Wong Wan-Si as Sea Weed, who provided most of the comic relief in the movie.You feel you are along for the ride in this adventurous film; however, I thought the plot was rushed, leaving few room for character development, plot twists and suspense. Overall though, it's still not a bad adventure/fantasy/comedic film - a good mixture of the three.Grade B-
View MoreBeware that if you are buying this because you think that Gordon Liu is the star, he only makes a cameo apperance for about a minute.The subtitles on the region one dvd are of poor quality which only adds to the confusion of the movie itself. Despite these minor flaws, this movie has some great sword fights that are cut together as better than most of these movies. The action is great and it's well worth watching. This is a classic action packed movie with a touch of comedy.
View MoreThis movie's got a mix of swordplay, martial arts, fantasy and comedy. The story may take several viewings to get, but the main emphasis is on the action. Cool techno fight scenes too! You've got beautiful babes Chingmy Yau, Anita Yuen, Loletta Lee and the ladies can fight too! Add a cameo by Gordon Liu, this movie has to be seen to be believed!
View MoreWires and flying and swastika-wielding Shaolin monks and crude humor and bad subtitling and really really good kung fu and amateur acupuncture and more flying and water worshippers and some more of those in-jokes that "none of me and my friends got" and Batman and Jesus and one of the craziest movies, kung fu or otherwise, ever made. WOW WOW WOW!!! You must see this movie!!!
