I recently bought a copy of this on blue ray but it can only be shipped from Hong Kong. This is the classic fish out of water scenario done right and it still amazes me that Yuen Biao did not become just as big as Jackie Chan or Chow Yun Fat In the United States. Make sure to watch for the rooftop scene with the 747 flying past, incredible detail in so many scenes. Everyone looks so cool and you can tell a lot of care went into making this one an unforgettable cinematic spectacle. Count me so IN! It’s also a spectacle to see how amazing the city of Hong Kong looks in the 1980s, with neon a plenty & loads of cool fashion sported by Maggie Cheung and both of the Yuens. The fight sequences are truly stunning and even better there’s plenty of that hand drawn eighties lightning / electricity FX here that I love so much to go around to fully please any fan of the era. ![]() It most definitely needs a wider US audience and an official blu ray release here in the states. ![]() It’s got a ton of heart, a great story, incredibly likable colorful characters, wild action sequences, sharp comedy and even some sweet romance.

There they try and fit in while preparing for one final confrontation that could take them back to their own time. Long story short, we’ve got two highly skilled, super powered swordsmen hell bent on destroying each other, facing off in ancient China.

Yeah, If you’re looking for an Holiday action flick this year and are burnt out on ‘Die Hard’, then look no further than the ‘Iceman Cometh’. Let’s waste no time, because ‘The Iceman Cometh’ from 1989 is not only one of the coolest kick ass Hong Kong action flicks, it also takes place during Christmas! Ho ho ho!
