Best movie ever!

The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

The name of English is so brilliant. Firstly, we thought that it is only a story of Chinese Spell. Howeover, it is a revenge of a young man. Contray to contemporary Chinese Spell Movie, this movie shows us too much culture fortune. Content is so rich, explanation is also in place. Maybe, recently showed movie "The Thousand Faces of Dunjia" can't surmount it.

The Yuen clan broke the barrier between "old school" and "new school" kung fu movies with this production. The difference is the creativity and the special effects. The creativity starts with the "Jar Man" fight sequence. The special effects have nothing to do with CGI. These are amazing effects using puppet techniques with wires, pyrotechnics using simple compounds and oils, and just wiring up the stunt men to do quick gravity defying sequences (or simply setting their pants on fire). The creativity here is really top notch. Not to forget the fights, the swordsmanship is almost as good as the grandmaster of grandmasters Liu Chia-Liang. To top it all off it's just plain funny. I particularly like the homage to the ancestor Simon Yuen, though it had nothing to do with anything. I watched a subtitled version that was widescreen but despite the labeling it was probably a copy. I'll be looking for and buying an authorized DVD if one exists.

Shamed Royel Guardsman Kao after seeing his wife executed steals the young prince in order to flee safely from the Emporer's castle. After he's safe away on the beach he find's out that he inadvertently killed the young prince. so he takes the medallion and gives it to his nephew for safe keeping. This is where the real wackiness ensues. And wacky is the correct word. Bat-fu, 'faux' midget-fu, the Jar boy/girl, igniting chicken, and much more assault the senses. I liked this film a lot, and enjoyed many of Woo-Ping Yuen's other films as well. I eagerly await how he handles the Marvel comics based "The Hands of Shang-Chi" My Grade: B+ DVD Extras: Theatrical Trailer; Trailers for "Xian dai hao xia zhuan" (Executioners), "Lei ting sao xue" (Red Shield), and "Tie xue qi jing" (Road Warriors)

Miracle Fighters is another Yuen woo-Ping action movie, only this time, it is not only based on kung-fu but also on magic, sorcerers and a lot of humour. There are fight sequences, (but most of the action involves magic tricks (which are great)! The special effects are, surprisingly, awesome!! The end sequence, where all the sorcerers compete in a competition, is great! The story is good but standard but it is overall a good movie!..8/10
