The Eagle Shooting Heroes (1993)
Reviewed by: hellboy on 2000-08-31
A bizarre convaluted mess, but on a certain level it works. You'll be hard pressed to find a movie with so many HK stars acting so goofy all at once. Supposedly made during the filming of Ashes of Time, ESH was filmed at night while AOT was shot during the day. ESH was shot on the fly but that's part of it's charm. The comic standout performance is Tony Leung CW who spends most of the movie suffering from sausage lips. If you're looking in the way of a man in a gorilla suit, pee that travels backwards, and a silly cantopop number set to the William Tell overture then ESH won't disappoint you. 7/10
