(aka "Huo yun chuan qi" or "Fiery Romance" or "The Fiery Dragon Kid")
directed
by Woo-ping Yuen
Hong Kong 1994
When Red Dragon is send out to retrieve a letter
incriminating her master, as he plots to overthrow the emperor, she meets
swordsman Yuen, who got to the letter before her. Red Dragon eventually falls
in love with Yuen and turns on her master.
Directed by Yuen Woo-ping, without parallel the best fight choreograph ever,
who after making Jet Li famous went to the US and became choreograph on films
like "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", "Matrix" and "Kill Bill", "Fire Dragon"
is simple one great flick, full of silly humour, amazing fights and incredible
pyrotechnical effects.
