Viewing Notes
So happy to have finally seen this thanks to Jay bringing his Blu-ray over to watch! Totally a Tsui Hark film. Lots of comedy and action with a nice historical background and an outstanding cast. This really needs a good release for the English market. I have to imagine Eureka or 88 Films would both make a great home for this.
