Reviews

OllieSuave-007 This is a fantasy action movie set in ancient China, where a swordsman named Fragrant Chu (Aaron Kwok) seeks the legendary liquid sword to battle an evil warlock dubbed Batman (Ji-Wai Lau).Filled with colorful costumes and luscious landscapes, this is a pretty adventurous film from start to finish, boasting some sophisticated martial arts and sword-wielding action. Kwok played an OK lead in the movie, being wooden at times in his performance. However, the story is supported by a large cast of characters, most notably Chingmy Yau who plays Flowerless opposite Kwok. The pair had some touching chemistry and romantic moments together that gave the film a dramatic touch.Other actresses include Gloria Yip, Anita Yuen and Winnie Lau, who played the ditsy handmaidens Red, Sweetie and Ron, Loletta Lee as Batman's lover; Fennie Yuen as the swords-woman Chung Yuan; Sharla Cheung as the Jellyfish, keeper of the liquid sword; and Wong Wan-Si as Sea Weed, who provided most of the comic relief in the movie.You feel you are along for the ride in this adventurous film; however, I thought the plot was rushed, leaving few room for character development, plot twists and suspense. Overall though, it's still not a bad adventure/fantasy/comedic film - a good mixture of the three.Grade B-

timelessdave Hello,Forgive me if I'm missing something obvious, but where does Gordon Liu fit into this film? He's featured on the cover, and his name is prominently listed on the top of the cover (you can even see this on the image here on this website). The DVD I have credits him as playing Flowerless, but I agree with the IMDb credit which lists Chingmy Yau... Flowerless is a woman! Hmmmm. Please straighten this for me if possible, somebody! This is a fantastic film, regardless. It fuses entertainment with excellent choreography, rapid and innovative before-CGI special effects, and some cool music. The love theme really gets me. Sure, the plot gets wobbly, and there's some rather low humor in parts (reminding me of Kung Fu Hustle), but overall, you have to give this film credit as a wild original. I just wonder where Gordon Liu fits in. Hmmmm. Thanks, D,

InzyWimzy This movie's got a mix of swordplay, martial arts, fantasy and comedy. The story may take several viewings to get, but the main emphasis is on the action. Cool techno fight scenes too! You've got beautiful babes Chingmy Yau, Anita Yuen, Loletta Lee and the ladies can fight too! Add a cameo by Gordon Liu, this movie has to be seen to be believed!

U.X. Wires and flying and swastika-wielding Shaolin monks and crude humor and bad subtitling and really really good kung fu and amateur acupuncture and more flying and water worshippers and some more of those in-jokes that "none of me and my friends got" and Batman and Jesus and one of the craziest movies, kung fu or otherwise, ever made. WOW WOW WOW!!! You must see this movie!!!
