For a movie actually shot in 3D, this was so flat. It looked post-converted, as there wasn’t the usual depth to faces that I love to see in 3D movies. So I watched the “shooting in 3D” featurette and immediately it looks like actual 3D. Weird, but then the director goes on the explain how much he loved tweaking the 3D and the depth of the images so apparently the flatness in the majority of the movie was by design. I can see why they didn’t bother to shoot the sequel in 3D. What’s the point when you just make it look flat in post?

This is one of those movies that feels made specifically for me. I grew up watching a lot of '80s made-for-TV mysteries, so this was a hoot. Esther Rolle was great. This was apparently a TV pilot originally, and I would watch 100 episodes of this without question.

I know five stars is kinda ridiculous, but I love this movie and I don't give a shit.

One of the greatest tragedies in Hong Kong cinema is that the sequels to this incredible, energetic wuxia were never made.
