Cantonese, English Subtitles

1998, 128 minutes

5 Stars

This movie is fun, pure and simple. If you want a cerebral movie, get something else. If you want some fun special effects (CGI), lots of fly-by-wire, sword fights, magic, and kung fu, then this is the movie for you.  Kind of like Star Wars in Ancient China. It is the story of Wind and Cloud, orphaned as young boys, and raised by Lord Conquer to conquer the world. The stage is set for a huge, epic battle – with Wind and Cloud fighting as Good v. Evil, Order v. Chaos. The story threads don't tie all that well, but the movie is too much fun to let a little thing like lack of coherent story bother a true aficionado of Wuxia Movies. Stars: Ekin Cheng, Aaron Kwok, and Sonny Chiba.
