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.

5.0 out of 5 stars the original mystic version of china, 10 April 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Zu Warriors From The Magic Mountain [DVD] [1983] (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
