The Iceman Cometh (1989)

Two Ming Dynasty warriors get frozen. One is a Royal Guard and the other a villainous killer. Three hundred years later they get thawed out and with differences unresolved the feud continues.
Two ancients in modern day Hong Kong means lots of fish out of water jokes, which are fun for a while, but the film rarely makes the best of the opportunities the story presents. It's a shame because the cast are capable of so much more.
