General Toga Cheung Maan ... Hwang Jang-lee ... Japanese Soldier Fung Hak-on ... Japanese Thug Lo Meng ... Collaborator Cindy Lau Ping-tai ... Chin-chin Guk Fung ... Ming's Grandfather Chen Jing ... Gun Runner
a fun adventure film, starring the awesome Michelle Yeoh, who's name should be tops in female action stars. she plays a pilot who teams up with a spy (Derek Yee) and a conman (Richard Ng) in order to rescue the governor of Kaal where the occupying Japanese plan to build a chemical weapons factory.
it's almost as good as it's obvious influence, RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK, but it doesn't quite get there. it has better fights and stunts, and Michelle uses not only a whip, but a rope dart as well. she gets to fight superkicker Hwang Jang-lee, and that's great.
it's got a good epic feel to it, but there's a little too much silly comedy filler, thanks to Ng, who is moderately funny. but see it for Michelle.
