Format:DVD
the story is based how a once coward becomes the chosen warrior to defend the earth against evil.
i watched this film when i was little and loved it then, the dvd version i have from the states is pretty simple but its just, the story which is fantastic. it tackles the age old story of good versus evil with love sacrifice and mystical poweres shoved in. even if you didn't like crouching tiger this is still a great film to watch and own just for the acting and special effects. above all just watch the movie you won't be dissapointed i wasn't

This is without a doubt one of the greatest films ever made. Although the plot is slightly confusing to begin with, it is worth bearing with it as you will be treated to some of the greatest and most unique fight sequences ever seen.
Buy this film, if not for the weirdness then for the excellently elaborate sequences.

ZU is the Hong Kong film that everyone should see. This little gem lifted Tsui Hark from obscurity to being one of the most prominent film makers in Asia. Admittedly the plot can be a little difficult to follow at times and the special effects are dated in places but there is action, comedy and absurdity in huge amounts. How can you fail to love a film where Sammo Hung plays a character called Long Brows who traps the evil Blood Monster using (you guessed it!) an enormous pair of extended eyebrows? If you've seen the likes of A Chinese Ghost Story or The Bride With White Hair, don't miss the antics of Yuen Biao and the rest of the Magic Mountain gang in ZU.

Not a good Yuen Biao film.
I'm a big fan of Yuen Biao and think he's one of the greatest ever on screen martial artists. So for fans of him to expect to see amazing martial-arts sequences you're going to be... Read more

An excellent and ground breaking film that only loses one star from me for the new voice overs and sound effects. Tsui Hark is a film legend

Wrong review.
I've noticed that a few people here have reviewed the wrong film and rated the film that is The Legend Of Zu as if it was the classic from 1983. Read more

dissapointing for someone as good as Yuen Biao
I have to say, within the first 20 minutes of this film I could tell it was going to be a load of pants. Read more
