A much better experience than "A Touch of Zen", at least for me.
Added this to my watchlist after I saw "Goodbye, Dragon Inn" and totally get why this is a pivotal piece of cinema that had to be linked to the nostalgic feeling of the theater. It's just such a beautiful film, a film that really would be appreciated fully only in a theater with 200-300 other people. The choreography is great, but of its time, the cinematography is timeless and it made me want to watch "Kung Fu Hustle" again because of the soundtrack (and not only that).
It didn't make me want to care too much about the story but nevertheless, I was there all the way. With great action and great characters.
