    Mmmmmmmm......

    I thought with Michelle Yeoh and Tony Leung that this would be reasonably good. Not the case I'm afraid.

    Deffinately worth the rental

    Although very limited in terms of acting and editorial quality, it's obviously the for runner to many top quality Wushu films like Crounching tiger etc. Some truly beautiful wire work only let down by the photography.

    Fight scenes can lack the continuity they deserve but I'm sure was awesome in it's day.....not forgetting it was made in '93 not 2003!
