Maverick Hong Kong movie-maker Tsui Hark uses the elegant backdrop of Chinese opera to weave a wondrous tale of politics, action and romance. Three of Asia's most luminous leading ladies, Brigitte Lin, Cherie Chung and Sally Yeh light up the screen in this fast-paced action comedy. The Village Voice said of the film that it "out-Spielberg's Spielberg", calling Tsui "the world's wittiest director." (official distributor synopsis)
