I'm a sucker for this sort of film. Sword-fighting flying people frequently changing alliances, highly confusing plot whipped along at a cracking pace, big trouble working out who is who.

The group of us who watched this were always arguing over what just happened and frequently rewound the tape to check (which usually didn't help !). You know a movie is confusing where there's trouble differentiating the delicious ChingMy Yau (even in thin disguise) from the actress playing her sister (or was it cousin ?).

Don't even bother. Just sit back and gawk as the colour and manic movement whizz past.

OVERALL : Not in the same class as, for instance, Chinese Ghost Story, but still great fun.
