Yang guo yu xiao long nu

Shaw Brother's production

Romantic story - Wuxia

Very over-stylized "wire" fight scenes (quite beautiful)

Costumes and story are charming.

Acting is decent, the story seems at times macabre; but if you are fortunate it might be just your cup of tea.

The performance of the "little dragon girl" in particular is unforgettable - as is her beauty. It seems from her IMDB-page, that she did not appear on many other productions, which further adds to the mysterious air around her performance.

Ideally this movie is suited to suspend reality for a while; to dream away and enjoy an adventure in the form of a Shaw-production.

Give it a chance, you might just like it. I think that it would in particular also appeal to older children (there is blood and violence in this movie, but no more than in your average brutal video-game - there is no explicit sex or nudity)

Every once in a while you come across a movie that touches you in an indescribable way. This movie did this to me - maybe because I was tired and could let myself open up for it.

This is a certified hood classic really action packed and full of humor. This solos the entire mcu and star wars. Frog style is lyfe.

One of the best classical kung fu movie and a beautiful magical fairy tale

Exaggerated, full of special "flaws", simple production, it tried to be fun, but I didn't like it, the style doesn't appeal to me, associated with the uninteresting script, young actors playing elderly people, mega flying characters, simple sets, it's even cute, however it causes a certain laziness, despite the strong female protagonists... Weak...

I love the Shaw Brothers.

Everyone makes a mistake.

This movie is their mistake.

It's almost an "it's so bad it's good" movie but not quite. I wince every time I think about the guy in the bird suit. Oh yes, a giant bird suit with a disgusting pot belly and a brain sort of thing sticking out on top. It is pretty hilarious when the main character stupidly runs right off the edge of a huge cliff. Literally: ahhhhhhhhhhh... But 30-minutes later he falls off the SAME CLIFF! He must have taken brain damage on the first fall, but luckily Big Bird catches him the second time.

The fight choreography is awful. They jump off the right side of the screen and out of a set, and it cuts to a fight in a wide open field with no building nearby for miles. The spinning disk weapon is done terribly with an annoying sound effect.

Cripes, I could go on and on.

Skip this one.
