The East Is Red    (1993)
This movie has suffered from a bad reputation, mainly because of its too hysterical editing. This movie is actually the same type of Wu Xia Pian as the first two instalments. If it's still less interesting than the other episodes, The East Is Red suffers from Ching Siu Tung's taste for B movie. Mad visuals and ideas such as a flying swordfish, ninjas tied to kites to fly, dwarf samurais, flying ships battles and so on, contribute to make it "special"… Very entertaining indeed, but the noble and tragic spirit from the first two instalments has disappeared.
