    • Quotes

      [first lines]

      Narrator: In the Shun Chi's reign of Ching, Emp. Shin Tsu was critically ill. A fabulous flower blossoming once in two decades in a snow peak reportedly could rejuvenate and bring a dying man back to life. The court decided to send an envoy to pluck it there.

    • Crazy credits
      The original release had a montage of scenes recapping the movie playing over the credits set to the song "Red Cheeks, White Hair" sung by star Leslie Cheung. Current releases keep the montage but it now plays with an instrumental score.

    Visually stunning... must see HK Kung Fu
    This is an insanely entertaining movie, which plays more like an opera. It's a wild fantasy about the normal warring clans in ancient China. It has it all, a great love story, Kung Fu fights out the ass with all the flying acrobatics you could want. And best of all Brigitte Lin Ching Hsia as the high flying wolf girl with magical skills. This is a tour de force of everything us Americans liked about "Crouching Tiger". The ending is fabulous, with a Kung Fu fight right out of the comic books. Even director Vu said the final battle he wanted to resemble a pin ball machine. It does, and it's crazy, and he made a movie that I couldn't recommend any higher. I'm looking forward to watching the first sequel very much.
