This is one of my favorite wuxia films. It doesn't make a lot of sense and it's patently bizarre but I enjoy it.Cho Yi-Hang (Leslie Cheung) is the finest pupil of the Wu Tang school, but he has no ambition for leadership. He meets mysterious assassin Wolf Girl (Brigitte Lin) while saving some peasants and immediately falls for her. Unfortunately, she is in the employ of an evil cult, lead by conjoined twins. The male twin (Francis Ng) is in love with Wolf Girl as well, even though his sister (Elaine Lui) thinks it's stupid to be so involved. Can these two star-crossed lovers overcome their pasts to make a life with each other? No, of course not. They have to wade through scores of their enemies first.
There are so many fucked up, weird things going on with this movie. Let's not even go there. Instead, let's focus on how awesome and fucked up and weird everything is. If you can turn off the rational part of your brain and just go with the flow, this is a ridiculously entertaining movie.
