This is a Chinese fantasy film in all it's wild glory with people flying through the air, lots of over the top action and larger than life acting from a cast that includes the fascinating Brigitte Lin and Leslie Cheung two of the more interesting actors from this period in Hong Kong filmmaking.
This film is well directed by Ronnie Yu and is probably the high point in his career since he went on to direct junk like Bride of Chucky and Freddie vs Jason.
As is typical with these kinds of films, the action and violence are fast and bloody but the love scenes are very prudish. You have to be in the right mindset to appreciate much less enjoy this kind of film. However this is one of the better fantasy films that came out of Hong Kong at this time.
