Synopsis
While the rest of the world marveled at Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, Asians recognized that the magic and romance which inspired director Ang Lee came from the Shaw Brothers Studio in general and the remarkable work of director Chu Yuan in particular. Here Chu teams with his number one collaborator, renowned novelist Ku Lung, to create another spectacular adventure set in the "martial arts world" a place beyond history where all fight with high-flying skill to become ruler. This time the wushu warriors brilliantly battle to attain the "Deer Sword", until they are trapped in the insidious maze-like Toy Land, from which few emerge. Kung-fu choreography giant Tang Chia leads the king and queen of Shaw Brothers' swordplay, Ti Lung and Lily Li, in a fascinating and entertaining adventure of consummate sword and sorcery.
