If you're looking for a Cantonese version of the renowned Eugene O'Neil play -- forget it. If you're in the unlikely mood for a Hong Kong overhaul of "Ice Man" (1984) this may be your movie.

Yuen Biao and Yuen Wah are Ming Dynasty adversaries who are frozen, discovered 300 years later, and accidentally thawed where the battle rages on in modern day Hong Kong.

The fish-out-of-water narrative is, not the least bit surprising, given a crude spin by director Clarence Ford who would go on to make a recognizable name for himself selling schlock by the frame ("Dragon from Russia," "Naked Killer," "Warriors: Black Panther").

Maggie Cheung Man-yuk is an oft-harassed prostitute, belligerent beyond reproach, who takes Yuen Biao under her wing and turns him into her personal whipping boy.

Most audiences will love the finale's whimsical use of both ancient and contemporary weaponry but for a film starring Yuen Biao and Yuen Wah director Clarence Ford is far more interested in low brow humor than he is utilizing the leads' collective talents.
