In the beginning it's a bit like Iron Monkey (1993), after a while it's more like the Lizard (1972), the end is like a Chang Cheh heroic epos and in between there's time for a small love story. It's a light-hearted action film with some more serious parts, but it isn't as humorous as most of the |

1. |
The Mei Ah DVD comes with a Cantonese and Mandarin soundtrack and hard to read, burnt-in, Traditional Chinese + English subtitels. The picture quality is not very good, just acceptable. |
