The whole time I was watching this I kept thinking back to those 80s Jim Henson fantasy films like "Dark Crystal" and "Labyrinth"--probably the special effects had something to do with it, but all in all not bad. The plot at times seemed to have the pacing of a marathon runner with asthma: it would go really fast, then sputter out, only to go very fast once again. With a cast this heavy both in front of and behind the camera, I was expecting something a little more, but the movie was probably hamstrung by the fact that it was 1987 and there was only so much one could do with special effects in those days. | | LOG IN TO COMMENT ON THIS REVIEW! |

It was a cool flick, but it's very different from the anime, and the movie is done by Hong Kong so it has that Kong Kong movie feel to it. Don't expect your typical Yuen Biao action because this movie is FX-based, not hand combat-based. The special FX are okay and it was a pleasure to see Gordon Liu looking like a wuxia version of San Te. If you're into fantasy sci-fi films, then you'll probably like it more than I did. | | LOG IN TO COMMENT ON THIS REVIEW! |

Gordon Liu and Yuen Biao in the same movie...should be great. Disappointing. Some special effects, some pretty creepy; however, it never really drew me into the story. | | LOG IN TO COMMENT ON THIS REVIEW! |
