Original title Shi mian mai fu. A great colorful Kung fu film with an even better love story. I really liked this movie and I’m not even a fan of Kung fu films. The Cinematography is terrific and Hollywood couldn’t have made it better.

“I sacrificed three years for you. How could you love him after only three days?”

Plot:

One of the most succesful chinese movies ever. Also one the funniest I’ve aver seen. If you know movies like “House of flying daggers” you get jokes a little better. But even if your not familiar with old kung fu movies, this movie will make you laugh!
