Review of Painted Skin (1993) by Steve W — 11 Aug 2011
It wasn't King Hu that attracted me to this film, it was the cast. Joey Wong is irresistible as ever, but she doesn't get to do much but be the damsel in distress for the whole movie.
Its Sammo Hung who manages to make the movie interesting. He plays a super powerful high priest who helps Joey Wong's character by defeating the evil King Ying/Yang. The action at the end gets a bit wayward and clunky, and the movie never gets interesting enough to warrant a recommendation.
