Was a little disappointed by this one, but I won't let it put me off future King Hu movies, as I've heard this isn't one of his absolute best. Hopefully, it'll end up serving as a decent appetiser for films like Dragon Inn and A Touch of Zen, which are the ones I'm really excited about.
I liked most of the action scenes, and some of the camerawork was cool. Also appreciated the female heroine, but she got overshadowed a bit in the second half, which I thought was unfortunate.
There were points at which it dragged a little, even at 91 minutes. And I cracked up whenever someone fell into water and there was a comically huge splash- not sure what was up with that lol.
