Yang guo yu xiao long nu

And I'm not talking about the fight scenes. You should be fine with those though I reckon there are people who might not like them. But that is a different matter overall. No there are things in here, that not just because of the #metoo movement should make you cringe.

While at first a scene that is really dark seems to exist without any real reason, there is some consequence for the character "assaulted". Which is explained quite weirdly. But while you might question the balance of funny and serious the movie tries to throw at the viewer, it is better if you don't. For your own viewing pleasure that is. Take it with a grain of salt, enjoy the fights, the silliness and the serious consequences of people fighting each other. A general love for martial arts in general isn't bad either

One of the best classical kung fu movie and a beautiful magical fairy tale

This is a certified hood classic really action packed and full of humor. This solos the entire mcu and star wars. Frog style is lyfe.

Corny AF, comedy, kung fu, love story, etc... It had it all.

Shaw Brother's production

Romantic story - Wuxia

Very over-stylized "wire" fight scenes (quite beautiful)

Costumes and story are charming.

Acting is decent, the story seems at times macabre; but if you are fortunate it might be just your cup of tea.

The performance of the "little dragon girl" in particular is unforgettable - as is her beauty. It seems from her IMDB-page, that she did not appear on many other productions, which further adds to the mysterious air around her performance.

Ideally this movie is suited to suspend reality for a while; to dream away and enjoy an adventure in the form of a Shaw-production.

Give it a chance, you might just like it. I think that it would in particular also appeal to older children (there is blood and violence in this movie, but no more than in your average brutal video-game - there is no explicit sex or nudity)

Every once in a while you come across a movie that touches you in an indescribable way. This movie did this to me - maybe because I was tired and could let myself open up for it.
