Product Description
A hilariously zany parody of Louis Cha's classic, the film stars nearly the same cast as ASHES OF TIME, which was shot in concurrent with this film (Wong Kar-Wai is the executive producer). A complete subversion of the martial arts genre in spite of action choreography by legendary Sammo Hung, the star-studded THE EAGLE SHOOTING HEROES piles on love triangles/quadrangles/pentangles along with bizarre musical numbers and assorted kooky situations to create one of Hong Kong's most beloved cult comedy classics.
Big Action... Great Costumes... Super Stars... This wacky comedy is the second film based on the adventures of Ouyang Feng and Huang Yaoshi (the other was Wong Kar-Wai's Action-Drama ASHES OF TIME). The film stars five of Hong Kong's biggest stars, Leslie Cheung (A Better Tomorrow, Farewell My Concubine), Brigitte Lin (Bride with White Hair, Chungking Express), Maggie Cheung (Hero, 2046, In the Mood For Love), Tony Leung (Hero, 2046, In the Mood For Love), and Jacky Cheung (Bullet in the Head, Chinese Ghost Story II). This slapstick version of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon includes great fight scenes, cross-dressing bad guys and fabulous musical sequences.
