I have to confess to being a little perplexed and intrigued by the trailer for this film and was certain that it had to be checked out. What an original and amazing film it was. Rejuvenating the Kung-Fu genre in its totally out there form. Funning, startling and at times plain cute, this really was an adventure at the cinema. Go see if for yourself! Chow uses special effects in a masterly fashion, like a painter with a vast and varied palette. The cast are spectacular and their puny looking bodies make the stunts that much more exciting. The land-lady's facial expressions are the stuff of acting genius. In fact the whole look and feel of this film are truly wondrous.
