Great film but it seemed like Brigitte Lin and Leslie Cheung fell in love too suddenly since their feelings aren't ever explored until near the end, where the film is about to end. I liked it, though they could've worked on the two's relationship much more.
Spectacular flick, heartily recommended.
Good movie, but a little too much science fiction/supernatural storyline and not enough martial arts for my liking. The conjoined twins were unbelievably annoying also. However, I still recommend this movie because the story itself is very good.

If you have never seen this movie, what are you waiting for? This is a film that should be in every collection. Brigitte Lin's hypnotic gaze is amazing and the story of love and loss spiced with kung fu kept me interested.

I am a fan of martial arts movies. This particular film, full of intensive action, fantasy and erotic drama, contains all you want to see in a movie. Like most of the movies with the famous female star Brigitte Lin, this film is breathtaking. I recommended it to anyone, and don't miss the second part ("Bride With White Hair 2") if you really want to see the ending of this beautiful story.
Not bad. Maybe a little too sci-fi-ish for me. Good fight scenes, but a bit too unrealistic.
Classic film!
Required addition to kung fu film collections!
For my money, this is the best sword and sorcery movie in all of Hong Kong filmdom. Brigitte Lin's smoldering glare could bore a hole through titanium. Frenetic action, hilarious villains, and a tragic love story combine to make this film a real winner.
If you like the supernatural/cable/kung fu/sword/romance/horror genre, this one is for you! Great photography, cool music, and Brigitte Lin--a must buy.
Peter Pao (director of photography for crouching tiger, hidden dragon) show his superb craft is this earlier effort at the fantasy story. Beautiful filmed--many, haunting images looking like paintings in an art museum--and wonderfully told this classic Romeo and Juliet story will leave you breathless for its scope and character. It's beginning sets the tone for the magical story and doesn't disappoint you in its journey. It is tragic, hopeful and sad; brilliantly acted, staged and edited. The strangeness to the main villains is interesting and intriguing---guaranteed you've never seen evil people like this before. Brigette Lin's transformation into her madness is powerful. The quality of this picture is what all film makers aspire to.
(***1/2) In this masterpiece of set-decoration, Brigitte Lin stars as a witch in the potent Mo cult. Between sensational flying and fighting scenes, she falls in love with swordsman Lian (Leslie Cheung), for whom she relinquishes her powers. Surprising scenes of violence and steamy sex disordered my thoughts.

The wolf-girl attempts to leave the Riverlake with her lover, but when she is framed for the massacre of his clan, he does not believe her claims of innocence. Her hair turns white because of his betrayal, and she leaves him. In remorse, he exiles himself on a cold mountain peak -- the only place where a flower that he had once promised to her grows.

Brigitte Lin is cool and hot! Leslie Cheung (or his body double) does *very* well with Chinese style sword play. Star-crossed lovers story bears resemblances to plot elements of Zen of Sword and Butterfly and Sword. The ending leaves you hanging, a bit, but you can imagine would should happen... Beautifully filmed.
