Demon Of The Lute: Viewer Comments

I bought a region free player specifically for this DVD when I read the review about it in Kung Fu Cinema and saw a clip on YouTube. Crazy action and very funny sequences. Chin-Siu Ho was a good leading man which I thought he would be ever since I saw him wield double butterfly knives in "Ten Tigers of Kwangtung". Kara Hui was great, but this is the first time she really seemed to enjoy herself, because everytime she smiled it seemed so genuine as compared to other movies I have seen her in ("My Young Auntie", "Brave Archer"). The kid in this movie steals the show. I watched this movie with my little cousins and we were laughing so hard at this kid and his antics we had to rewind. Peter Kwok was great as usual. There is a scene with an axe that we were all laughing at. It gets kind of long winded in the end but overall a good purchase. Excellent choreography, good sets, and great costumes (the kid reminds me of Atreyu). Anyways, that's my two cents.
