Martial Arts Parody on Crack
If you start this expecting a serious or even a simple comedy with martial arts element, the chances of one being disappointed will be quite high. This was parody, and had not one serious moment in the whole show, or any particularly coherent plot.That said, there was a basic plot about a princess attempting to save her kingdom from the queen (and her lover). This movie detailed her adventures in trying to seize the throne back from the usurper.
More than that, however, this was also a comedy of circumstances of familiar characters from Jin Yong’s (Louis Cha) classic martial arts novel, “Legend of the Eagle Shooting Heroes”, though one could be forgiven if no character seemed recognizable in this movie except for their names.
Populated by stars from the HK entertainment industry’s heyday (1980-90s), this show was worth watching just for that, if one is a fan.
This was crack parody of the best kind, and if one watches it without preconceived ideas and just let the physical and nonsensical comedy flow as they come, one is in for an entertaining show full of belly laughs.
Give it a try, if so inclined.
