Viewing Notes
“Be careful what you wish for” and “the pursuit is more rewarding than achieving the final goal” are but two of the morals from this story.
Very straightforward with some obvious plot points including the final reveal all very predictable but doesn’t diminish the enjoyment of watching Ti Lung be a badass swordsman.
Also rather provocative with some body double nudity among two of the lady assassins as well as a couple of sex scenes.
