I saw this film back in 1992. A friend of mine told me about it, and when I had a chance to see it a couple of months later I changed my schedule around just to see it. And I was sooo glad I did.
I was flat out blown away. I've seen it a couple of times since and I always have the same reaction. This is what film making is all about.
The only problem for me that was after seeing this film I was not all that impressed with either The Matrix or Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. If you've seen Swordsman 2 or any of the very best Jet Li films it is very difficult to be impressed with knocks offs done with bland actors like Keanu Reeves and Chow Yung Fat.
I anxiously await the day that a picture this exciting and/or sexually provocative gets a release in this country.
