Shot in beautiful scope by Peter Pau, the location work not only in Hong Kong but Egypt and Nepal is gleefully insisted on being overused by director Teddy Robin. The location work is never withheld from the frame nor is the luxurious, sometimes futuristic design Hai Chung-Man. It's the world of movies to a T and the definition of entertainment for the masses as the proceedings are grand, stupid, action-packed and contains stars that are allowed to be planks. Sam Hui is certainly one but he's obviously a clever/shameless marketing tool that always opens up the prime op to attach a tune of his to the flick too. Joey Wong, despite having an action oriented character setup is put into division of flower vase status and Ti Lung is Mr. Kickass. Our director pops up as the one surely able to decipher the secret behind a religious pearl many want to obtain and while pretty much only Blacky Ko's action directing (good blend between fights, stunts and vehicular design) is the sole piece of relevant cinema that still lives today, The Legend Of Wisely is a packed event that makes no excuses for what it is. There was a time where this was highly acceptable. It was also the time when Hong Kong cinema still had the ability to gather up the stars. Therefore, it's still valid today.
