This hugely under-rated wu xia epic was a change of scenery for Ringo Lam, master of the urban crime film. Coming off like a twisted Chinese TEMPLE OF DOOM this film was a bomb in HK, due to the darkness of its nature as well as the lack of recognisable stars. Now it has taken its place as one of the most striking films of that era of HK cinema. And anything with the stunning Carman Lee in it is worth a watch.
Burning Paradise (1994)
