Wonder Seven (1994)

Aka: 7 jin gong

A fun but very confusing mix of martial arts action and gun-play from Dir. Ching Siu-tung. There are too many characters doing too many things to really get to grips with any of them, which is a shame because there’s some really interesting set pieces on display throughout.
Fans of Michelle Yeoh should be pleased as she gives a fine performance and looks radiant while doing so, although I have no idea why she’s on the cover dressed like a Chinese hooker, because that doesn't happen.

Edit:  The cover isn't even...  0_o
