It has been more than seven years since Yuen Woo-ping last directed a feature film.
Based on a popular comics series, the new film follows bounty hunter Dao Ma (Wu Jing), the “second most wanted fugitive” in the Sui dynasty (581-618), as he tries to lead a rebel leader across the western desert to safety in Changan.
In the sprawling plot, Dao Ma fights rival bounty hunters, soldiers from several clans, former friends and allies, and Shu the “Jade-Faced Ghost” (Yosh Yu Shi), a notorious swordsman who eventually joins him on his journey.
