This should be restored tigether with the King's other classics
11 May 2019
For a man who might be the greatest action filmmaker to have most of his films poorly restored is a shame. Films like these whoch presents a modern take of a Pekimg opera with credible characters amd a fun perfprmance from Cheng Pei pei as well as Tian Feng. People should get more exposurr to films like these. If only thete was a way to restore it so the general masses could have a chance to see hid hidden treasures the world will get a better understandomg of Chinese culture and that of cinema. Of all the films this one I personally found to be the funniest and clearly showed Hu to be at his most comfortable and lightest mode while mincing it with solid fight scenes intermittently. The sets were amazing and the visuals never disappoint. One of the best films of the 80s decade by far.
