The Three Swordsmen (1994)
Reviewed by: hkcinema on 1999-12-08
I was thoroughly unimpressed. This film contained everything I hate about Hong Kong kung fu cinema without any of what I crave. First off, though the description of the film that I'd read previous to seeing praised the martial arts scenes highly, I was bored. Flying people and more flying people. Big deal. There was no demonstration of anything that looked remotely like a sword form. Just a lot of swinging of plastic blades. The story was overly convoluted. At first, it held my interest focusing on a love story between Siu Sam Siu and Miss Butterfly, but as soon as the focus on that aspect of the story was gone so was my attention. Too many characters. Too many flying people. A very loose story. Thumbs down.
