This was also my first exposure to the movies of Tsui Hark (pronounced, apparently, "Choy Huk"). Up till this point, I'd really only seen the Shaw Bros kung fu movies, with their harsh lighting (so audience could see the moves clearly), so it was a revelation to me to see something that looked like it had been lit by Ridley Scott coming out of Hong Kong. My pal Steve Parkhouse recorded it on VHS and sent it to me. I first saw this film when it was transmitted around 1988 by the BBC when I was working on UK's 2000AD.
