Warning: Images are not from the movies we’re showing. Trust us, you can’t imagine what we’re showing!

Politics served with a side of whupass, Hong Kong’s greatest living action director delivers a period wu xia movie that leans hard on style. An attempt to show Wong Kar-wai that you could make a movie utilizing slo mo, step printing, fast forward, and all his favorite stylistic tricks while still delivering blood-boiling, limb-shearing, neck-severing action, this tale of political loyalties being stressed and tested by razor sharp steel feels like an old school Shaw Brothers flick getting an injection of bone-cracking, modern day action. Rarely seen, and never screened, we managed to unearth an unsubtitled print and will be doing live subtitles so you won’t get a chance to see this one in all its gory glory again.
