With special effects getting better in HK movies, i had some expectations of this movie.

Oh the movie is more comedy than action or mystery. Nicky Cheung plays his role well!!

The action scenes are quite good, but not up to STORMRIDERS standards. Unfortunately, the ending was a disappointment. It relies more on special effects rather than good old fashion sword fighting till the death.

If you like this, you will like to see the
1981 Duel of the century,
a Shaw brothers production which basically has the same premise but does the plot twist a little better and has more characters involved in it. The Duel is a re make of this but is almost a completely different movie though there are obvious similarities with both.

I miss this type of sword movies so i maybe generous giving this

7.25/10
