A surprisingly bloody wuxia/sword-epic film, with quite a lot of dismemberment... always lots of fun in these types of movies. It's interesting that the "protagonist" of the film starts off being a cold-hearted and remorseless character (though, of course, he receives a fair amount of character development). The only truly bad part was one lengthy fight scene filmed in almost pitch-dark! Zero lighting, all you see is the occasional flash of a sword, which is cool, but not in a fight scene that lasts more than 5 minutes! I don't know if better, clearer prints exist, but it got pretty old pretty fast. The rest of the film, however, remained silly yet entertaining. 11 years 8 months ago
