I can't imagine and totally beyond comprehension, this messy film with a totally messed up Chinese history, absolutely ridiculous random jump-around mixed eras with extremely mixed costumes and settings.... and so on would have won some awards of some film festivals. All I can guess is these festivals, their judges and their attending audiences were just assembled by a bunch of brain-dead people who didn't know what was what, what should be and....to sum up: What's going on? They didn't even question themselves when they sat in front of the big screen to watch it: WTF!? Because this is exactly what I concluded after I've only watched about 4 minutes. This movie is like the American Chinese food, Chop-Suey, mixed all the leftovers of yesterday, the days before yesterday, maybe even over a week's foods in the refrigerator, threw them altogether into the wok, thus created a so-called messy Chinese dish: Chop means "randomly mixed", Suey means "leftover tidbits"; this God-awful movie is exactly what I'm trying to tell you, A randomly mixed leftover tidbits. I'm even more surprised that only one reviewer has warned that this movie was complete garbage. Maybe he and me have both watched a different movie? But I doubt it.

Any fans of exploitation films will love this film! To me the best part of this film is the story: bounty killers hunting the white collars bastards that (still as we speak) ruled this world. It is such a liberation of the mind to see evil people getting eliminated by the dozens, too bad there was not enough of them to my taste but still it was bliss! Awesome movie. B-Rated Cult movie in it's fine [...]
