It is worse than the original one. Louis Koo overacted as bad guy, too much colourful CGI, confusing plot, Ekin Cheng & Cecilia cheung showed their pretty face and some action moves. Very disappointed movie. @Alharu: I have seen 2001 LEGEND OF ZU. It is worse than the original one.

It is Star Wars in Hong Kong flavour and New Wuxia at its finest. The good old classic romance and good vs evil themes that can only be missed in today's cinema. It can never go wrong with Brigitte Lin playing a goddess, no one else can represent the eternal grace. Interesting how Moon Lee took the female lead in the second half of the movie, it was a little unexpected and a lot of fun. b3n1: there isn't much to get about Zu except the themes mentioned above. It is pure wuxia fantasy with newer techniques. Try watching the 2001 version, it might give you a better idea. I still think the technical skills presented in the film are topnotch even by today's CGI standard. In 1983, that really meant hard work was involved. Wheels On Meals ranked a little higher than I thought. The Spaniards must have very good skills in Asian languages back then. Gorgeous women and weird mental patients are all in the wrong place. Speaking of Jackie Chan's fantasy pieces, this one goes a little beyond me. Hi Mick, I can certainly relate to how you felt about Zu. It is Star Wars in Hong Kong flavour and New Wuxia at its finest.

There is smart allegory and satire alongside a story which made me feel like I did as a kid the first time I watched a really good romance (in the Arthurian sense), like Star Wars, Princess Bride, or Willow. Another way to explain it: a young Brigitte Lin.

Wow, it is at number 11. Higher than my expectation. The showdown between Jackie and Chow Yun Fat will continue at the TOP 10. I bet Chow Yun Fat will be the winner. He still has 4 favourite movies to go, maybe 5 if anyone voted for EIGHT HAPPINESS. Jackie only left with 2 movies. Wong Kar Wai might have 1 movie and Tsui Hark also 1 movie. The other two I don't know, maybe MR COCONUT or HAPPY UNION? About THE PRODIGAL SON, I've forgotten about this movie. It's a great movie. ZU WARRIORS, I still don't get about this movie. Is it HK movie answer to STAR WARS? At last MR VAMPIRE is out. Wow, it is at number 11. Higher than my expectation.

ZU WARRIORS, I still don’t get about this movie. Is it HK movie answer to STAR WARS?

I still wish I hadn't forgotten it though. Well, I don’t feel bad for forgetting Gangs, because I can’t imagine it will appear in the top ten. I still wish I hadn’t forgotten it though.
