Review of Butterfly and Sword (1993) by Steve W — 30 Dec 2009
Corny and well OTT fantasy martial arts film, one for buffs only really as it is great to see the wonderful Michelle Yeoh, Donnie Yen and a very young Tony Leung and Joey Wong.
This one has more gore than usual and is said to have inspired the Kill Bill films, exploding heads, bodies cut to ribbons, severed limbs and even a face removed, plenty of gushing blood but it does have some humour and a love story mixed in. Story is confusing and does end abruptly, it is said that they removed the last five minutes as it was too gory?
