Just reading the plot synopsis for this film lets you know immediately that you are in for something very weird and special. A Hong Kong fantasy with action and humor.
Directed by the incomparable Tsui Hark. The film jumps from one outlandish scene to another. The special effects were contributed by a team of American technicians which included Robert Blalack who had received an Academy Award for special effects on Star Wars of all things.
This is an extremely influencial film in Asian cinema and was clearly a source of inspiration for John Carpenter's Big Trouble In Little China.
Written by Shui Chung-yuet and Sze-to Cheuk-hon, running time 98 insane minutes.
