Entertaining kung-fu period

Review
by Kozo: |
Aaron Kwok is the title character, a recently orphaned
kid whose almost-annoying innocence and incredible kung-fu
skills are his benefit and ultimately his downfall.
After dad croaks, he seeks out family friend Ti Lung
and gets involved with him and local cloth queen Maggie
Cheung, who is receiving illegal pressure from the local
magistrate. In an effort to please his benefactors,
he inadvertently does something illegal, whereupon he
gets thrown out only to end up with the bad guys, who
use him to exact their revenge on Cheung and Lung. Wu
Chien-Lien is the local love interest, a perky school
teacher who teaches Kwok the benefit of writing his
own name. An interesting script with well-choreographed
fight scenes. Ti Lung and Maggie Cheung turn in notably
charismatic performances, while Aaron Kwok just acts
cute and Wu Chien-Lien does the same. A tad confusing
but overall not bad. (Kozo
