I really liked the movie The Storm Riders aka "Fung wan: Hung ba tin ha"
I watched this movie about the time it came out (1998) and I remember that I thought it was really good. I still want to see it again... but I don't think that the local video stores carry it anymore.
The Plot summary from IMDB.com:
Lord Conquer (Sonny Chiba) is a great and mighty warlord who wants to take over the world. To do so, he must defeat another warrior named Sword Saint (Anthony Wong); but the battle is prophesized to take place in ten years. Lord Conquer's servant, Mud Buddah, says that he can make himself invincible by then if he can make two certain children into his disciples. Those children are Whispering Wind (Ekin Cheng) and Striding Cloud (Aaron Kwok). But Lord Conquer discovers that if Wind and Cloud were to unite against him, they could overthrow him. He tries to avoid this by marrying his daughter Charity (Kristy Yang) to Wind. Cloud intervines and Lord Conquer accidentally kills Charity. Meanwhile, the time has come for Lord Conquer's duel with Sword Saint. He shows his true intentions by turning against Cloud and Wind. Now it's a free-for-all battle between Lord Conquer, Sword Saint, Cloud, and Wind. And only one will emerge the victor!
It had a lot of action and cool special effects. There was a quite a bit of violence though... and I think there might have been one questionable scene in regards to sexual content... but I can't remember.
Has anyone else seen this?
