Legend of the Liquid Sword (1993)

A wuxia comedy from Wong Jing that finds ample opportunity for some wonderful wire-fu fights to break out. I was only vaguely aware of what the hell was going on with the story most of the time, but I didn't care because it was the perfect antidote to the CGI crap that China churns out these days. The bombastic style over substance won me over.
Don’t be fooled by the appearance of Gordon Liu on the cover, he only gets about two minutes of screen time.

I am pretty good with style over substance when it involves awesome fight scenes! I like the title of this one.
