Jeff Lau's film "The Eagle Shooting Heroes" is based upon the same famous Louis Cha novel as Wong Kar Wai's own "Ashes of Time", which was shot concurrently and shares much of the same star-studded cast. A complete subversion of the Wu Xia Pian martial arts genre, Lau's film is a wickedly funny parody which piles on love triangles, bizarre musical numbers and entertaining action sequences choreographed by Sammo Hung (Enter the Dragon) to create one of Hong Kong cinema's most beloved cult classics.
