  • Action-packed martial arts melodrama with a comic edge; it begins well, but its length is likely to deter all but addicts of the genre.

    AKA Time Warriors.

    Yuen Biao has always been one of the under-rated stars of Asian action films. Normally playing second fiddle to Jackie Chan or Sammo Hung, (Third if both are present!) he has remained consistant in his Martial Arts skills, and is always refreshing to watch.

    The most athletic of performers, this film gives him a chance to shine. In this film he is a member of the Emperors Guard who goes on a mission only to be pulled through time to modern day by evil Yuen Wah. Maggie Cheung is great as the 'working girl' who teaches Yuen Biao about the modern world.

    Directed by Clarence Fok and fight choreography by Yuen Wah and his brothers, this is one of the unsung modern classics. You have to stick with it through the slightly slower paced middle section, but the last half hour is a real goer. Yuen Biao handles the comedy elements well, and namesake Yuen Wah plays evil like a pro. This is definately one to watch.
