Leprechaun K One of the best wuxia film that came out of the HK cinema in the 90s. Wonderfully directed and features great action sequences. A number of big name directors were tagged to this film, and the final product is nothing short of amazing. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 04/20/25 Full Review Audience Member Super nice theme song. Campy-style from HK 90's. Finally watched this fully. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Audience Member Shame on me that skipped this and go straight to sequel(Legend of Swordsmen).Frankly,Sam Hui is quite old to play Ling yet he is the best choice to sing the main song that was done by my all time favorite HK composer James Wong,those Golden Days.Plus,Director King Hu is the man behind the camera.They didn't kill the tittle even without following the original novel. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/12/23 Full Review Audience Member When the Sacred Volume of a mystical martial art is stolen, the clan responsible for guarding it tries to frame another clan and ignites a. war A Sect, samurai, and more parties battle each other as everyone tries to get their hands on it. It starts off pretty good, but then slowly gets a bit too complex for my taste. There are some fantastic fantasy martial arts action sequences and camera work for an older film. A solid martial arts fantasy epic. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review Audience Member Funny supernatural martial arts flicks in Tsui Hark style, with quirky inventions and confusing plot, but mesmerizing action. My only complaint is the rather obnoxious, but rather folkloristic, leit-motif song, but I'll end whistling it anyway...damnit! Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review Audience Member One of my favorite old fashion HK action movie. The story is based on a famous novel. But lots of plot has been changed in the movie as most of the case in those HK action movies. However, the movie totally has the spirit of the novel. Acting is pretty good. The song is A CLASSIC.
