Nearly everything about this film is totally irritating--from the nonstop, loud metal music, to the all-around horrible acting, to the plot holes, to the cheesily CGI'd martial arts (why hire Jet Li if you're just going to ruin everything with CGI?).
This film has widely been considered the Holy Grail of martial arts films, due to its legendary reputation, its cast, and its unexplained obscurity on DVD. It is indeed an excellent film, though perhaps lacking somewhat as far as quantity of fight scenes. The clear highlight of the film is the fight between Sammo Hung and Lau Kar Leung--a fu fan's dream.
A humorous but plotless comic book styled war-adventure produced by the legendary Tsui Hark.
While most viewers seem to enjoy this film's irreverent blend of genres, we feel that the slapstick comedy undermined the drama, and vice versa. However, one thing is for sure, the supercharged, supernatural action/martial arts sequences will wow even the most jaded viewer!
