One of my favorite martial art films! Elvis Tsui is amazing as Sagacious Lu. Based on the novel "Outlaws Of The Marsh", one of the four literary classics in Chinese history, this movie does the book justice! The characters' attitudes and personalities are kept true to the famous stories. I'm not a fan of wirework, but with the central theme of brotherhood and the well-written (or well-translated) dialogue, this movie is a gem! Many quips and jokes that might be overlooked upon first viewing. A really great detailed version of what is only a few chapters in the classical novel.

I like to give really brief and respectfully honest opinions on the movies I review. First off the martial arts in the movies was entertaining and above average. I am a fan of Tsui Kam-Kong, along with a couple other perfomers in this movie. The plot was evenly paced, a re - make from the Shaw Bros. film. I strongly suggest one add this film to their repertoire. My rating is not inflated.
Not bad, but nothing too spcial about this film. The lead actor really lacks martial art training. Buy this if you, just like me, got to have every kung fu film out there
| This is a typical sword fighting movie whose plot...well there ain't too much of one!! It focuses more on Tony Leung and Elvis Tsui, who become brothers, yet are on opposite sides of the law.
The fighting is those extremely long leaps (almost like flying) so if you like that style of movie, you'll like the action in this. There is also some comedy in this which is quite funny, but Tong Leung playing such a serious characters makes you feel like he goes out of character when he is in those scenes. I agree with jfierro about Elvis Tsui, who's performance alone makes this worth watching!! I think it's his greatest performance!! He plays a crazy yet loyal monk who keeps talking and talking, even to himself!! Watch out when he asks his horse for advice!!! Also see a young Lau Ching Wan who plays a minor role in this!! Overall, it is a average flying sword fighting movie, with a ending which may make you feel unsatisfied. Elvis Tsui makes this movie watching!! Only because Elvis Tsu is so good in this, I give this more marks than it deserves. |
Lin Chung, Tony Leung, is an extremely devoted and virtuous military official in the Sung dynasty, unfortunately his fellows are not as upright. Due to court intrigues he is deprived of all he loves and possesses, and only two of his friends stand by him.
A story of perversely strong loyalty in the face of persecution, this movie is almost a catalogue of degradation. Lin Chung is like the devoted revolutionary sent to the gulag, yet still enthusiastic in his support of the party. A somewhat dull movie with some solid performances and a few good fights.
