Viewing Notes
Found a high quality subtitled version of this on Youtube. The only caveat is that there’s a Mei Ah Entertainment watermark in the upper left corner. It didn’t really distract from my enjoyment of this fun blend of great, sometimes outlandish, action set pieces, romance and intrigue.
This has a great cast as well, including Anita Mui and Maggie Cheung who would go on to star together the next year in THE HEROIC TRIO and EXECUTIONERS; and Andy Lau as the peasant fisherman who has befriended an Orca whale named Sea-Wayne. Lau even “dances” with the Orca in the water (obviously, and sadly, an Orca in captivity).
I’ve been wanting to see this since someone posted a clip of the crazy opening scene of a man getting his head cut off with a bow string, then shot with an arrow that goes through a brazier catching the head on fire before finally striking a wall and lighting up all the other previously shot arrows to spell out something. Ya can’t make this shit up!
