If you care about matters of plot, it's worthwhile to watch each film twice as some things may be unclear after the first viewing, as double-crosses and plot twists come one after another, particularly in "The Dream Sword."

If you care mainly about the action and don't worry too much who's doing what or why, then at least the many sword fights at are generally quite good. However in both films there are times when various combat sequences were poorly edited and spliced together, leading to choppy transition in some of the action scenes. Fortunately, these do not detract too much from the overall experience.
