Plenty of "maidens" (some more, some less maidenish) in this one:
Gong Li (left) and Brigitte Lin as two adorable sisters who adore each other.

... and a less adorable second
Brigitte Lin, the evil one in the sister trio.
You know, the decadent variety.

Cheung Man as a mediocre
martial-arts scholar with high ambitions.
Again, she's responsible for much
of the silliness.

Yet another pretty actress, whose name
eludes me.

Lots of fires and explosions,
and - of course - flying people.

A sizeable part of the budget
was lavished on action, f/x and
large-scale sets like the one on the left.
Too bad they didn't have enough money for a decent script!

"Damn it."

Fans of HK-style nonsense will
nonetheless have a field day.

Two examples of the kind of f/x
to expect from THE DRAGON CHRONICLES (it's difficult to
capture them on stills). Most of them
have to do with light, beams and such.

Handcuffs for Gong Li.
Think about the possibilities!
