Certification18
Our Rating
An epic tale of revenge, honour, betrayal and, courtesy of writer/director John Woo, monumental fight sequences. Two swordsmen, hired to defend a family from a murderous enemy, learn the true meaning of friendship and chivalry through their battles with ever more bizarre and deadly opponents, up to a final attack on a fortress heaving with all manner of killers.

One of the few Chan movies that can stand on its own even if you excised the action sequences! Great period flavor of a 1930's gangster film is a faithful retelling of Frank Capra's Lady for a Day. Except with fistfights! Comedic situations and a musical number with the radiant Anita Mui occupy most of the screentime, but the few action set pieces are all among the best of Chan's career. In particular I love the fight in the tea room which features amazing choreography executed with balletic

An Oriental orgy of violence featuring a highly unlikely looking bunch of female contract killers whose outrageous lack of clothing would, quite frankly, be enough to finish off most men. There is a plot, of sorts, but suffice to say there's loads of birds with rubber skirts and big guns.
