Dragon Inn

This action-packed Hong Kong film, produced by Tsui Hark, is a clear predecessor of CROUCHING TIGER, HIDDEN DRAGON. In the movie, an evil eunuch warlord (Donnie Yen) conspires against the Ming Dynasty and meets his match in the form of a motley band of acrobatic warriors led by the rebel Chow (Tony Leung) and the manager of the titular inn, the mysterious Jade (Maggie Cheung). This epic production features masterful fight sequences and a stunning finale shot in the Gobi desert.
