The Bride with White Hair (1993)

TBwWH is a little different from the majority of Chinese fantasy martial arts movies because it spends more time developing the romance side of things than it does on showcasing the mind-blowing action scenes. The story of the two lovers with different backgrounds and their eventual struggle to be together is basically Romeo of Wu Tang meets Juliet of the Evil Cult.
It's only in the finale that it really lets loose with the flying and the fabric and the swords and the people getting torn in half, so don't be disappointed if the trailer made you think otherwise.
