| Plot: | A vibrant fantasy set during the Southern Sung Dynasty about a monk who sets out to rid the world of evil spirits. He encounters "Green Snake," a spirit who takes the guise of a beautiful woman in order to benefit mankind.

| Overview: | Maggie Cheung and Joey Wong are two beautiful half-human/half-snakes. Son Ching, after 1000 years of discipline, has begun to evolve from her reptilian form into a human being. Green Snake, with only 500 years of practice, is content simply slithering around, until a Buddhist monk with extraordinary powers becomes their greatest adversary. Livid over the fact that either would dare to even attempt to assume human form, he takes take their judgment into his own hands.
