Viewing Notes
Outstanding film for lots of different reasons! The ninja scene alone is worth watching the whole movie for. Lam Ching-Ying is outstanding as the cross dressing opera singer and martial artist Leung Yee-Tai. And Yuen Biao is great even when his character is supposed to be bad at martial arts.
