Synopsis:

There's a competition in China for a Holy Sword, and on the celebration before the competition the prince is slain by someone pretending to be one of the competitors, Siu Sam-siu (Andy Lau). He is charged with the rape and murder of a royal family member. While being helped and hampered in proving his innocence by his two opponents, Ming Jian (Brigitte Lin) and Wham Dao (Tsui Kam-kong), Siu uncovers a massive conspiracy.

Review:

Terrible. Just terrible. Impossible to understand, unless you think the massive conspiracy mentioned in the synopsis sabotaged the film-making. Even for a fan of Brigitte and Andy and Elvis, this one was really hard-going. Don't risk it.
