Viewing Notes
Incredible set design. Love everything about this. Brigitte Lin is the best. Going by release date, it’s nuts this was Moon Lee’s second feature film. She gets a decent amount of screentime and dialogue for being only a supporting character. I do believe she filmed the other movies released later in this year prior to this one bc those parts were so small.
Both Yuen Biao and Mang Hoi look like IRL brothers so that whole thing works. Super fun fantasy adventure that I still couldn’t properly explain to someone if they asked. Pretty to look at and admire all the talent onscreen esp. the badass women. Tsui Hark showing up in a joke scene at the end is the cherry on top.
