Camp it may be, and messy, but mundane it ain't.
Top CriticFor the uninitiated, much of the action might seem confusing, but for those who have a familiarity with the conventions of the genre, the film's fight scenes are a real kick, getting even wilder and wilder as the film progresses.
One of the all-time great classic Hong Kong films.
Re-titled Swordsman II is a wild genre ride with unbelievable action
Dazzling photography and equally dazzling fight scenes.
Eye candy for the sword-happy freak in you, and nothing more.
Both Jet Li and producer Hark are top notch Hong Kong film people. It's just too bad they couldn't seem to get it together this time out.
