During the early days of Republican China, a widower treasure seeker and his martial arts prodigy daughter travel to Wu Dang mountain to compete in a Kung Fu championship, and also look for the fabled seven treasures hidden within.
Despite this film is completely in Mandarin (because having to read subtitles can get irritating), it is an entertaining action-adventure/comedy/fantas y. The fight choreography albeit fantastical, was visually stunning; and note the martial arts is the star of the film. The story and characters leading up to each fight scene are like an afterthought. While the daughter is adorable, the reluctant monk caring for his overbearing mother whom keeps blatantly hinting that he marry the prodigy daughter is funny and there is a hint of romance between the father and a female rival treasure seeker, their storylines almost seem like filler.
With the new The Crow remake coming soon, we take a look back at the 30-year-old cult classic original–and where the stars are now.
