It's excellent movie from Hong-Kong. In my opinion, it's very interesting, amazing and full of action production. Here's everything what likes follower of adventure movies: magic Bedouin, quick cars, escapes, fights and many other attractions. It isn't boring, but it's very, very amazing. I'm fascinated Asian culture, so that movie is sensational experience. It's something from genre Wuxia with comedy elements. How many is productions of this type? A little bit, but it isn't popular. My special fondness for this movie is understandable, because I has it on the my old VHS. I watched in Poland many times, when I was a child. It's real masterpiece!!!

If you can, see the Universe DVD version of this movie, a widescreen transfer that highlights the panoramic views of the Himalayas in Nepal, where much of the on location action takes place.
