The most important Chinese fantasy film ever made, this mad whirl of whip-fast wirework, weaponized opticals, eye-melting make-up, opulent sets, and spectacular stunts has one purpose: to bring China’s maddest legend to life. Featuring a cast of Hong Kong’s biggest stars puppet-mastered by its most innovative director, it’s the kind of ground-breaking, earth-shaking, hand-made fantasy epic no one dares to even attempt anymore and it almost bankrupted the studio behind it. It also created (yes – created) the entire Hong Kong special effects industry. But more than a mere technical achievement, this movie is plea for the new generation to step up and take their place in a dying and corrupt world, and fight for the kind of justice that the older generations have abandoned.
