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.

There's some crap about Y2K bugs, espionage, murderous secret agents and then I nodded off (not literally). And the 'bleak vision of cyber-terrorism' that the blurb promised was a lie.
I don't like Hollywood in my HK films; I'd rather they play to their strengths instead of trying to ape the work of a soulless machine.
