Considered by many to be the definitive "flying people" movie. A must see for the Essence Absorbing Stance alone. Based on a story by Jin Yong. Martial artist par execellence Jet Li pits hit skills against Brigitte Li, who has gained supernatural powers at the expense of changing her sex. the object: magical Sacred Scrolls which bestow untold power upon their possessor. Brigitte owns the scrolls, of course, and suspicion draws him/her into inevitable violence. The film has an arresting visual style.
