Viewing Notes

Plays almost like a parody or spoof of the classic period wuxia films so the weird humor may not appeal to those looking for a traditional fantasy martial arts film (it’s kinda like they wanted to make a Stephen Chow flick without Stephen Chow). But this is absolutely my jam and I love seeing Nicolas Tse mixing it up even in a comedy. Also Crystal Huang Yi and Charlene Choi go a long way to keeping me invested.
