Hu (Eddy Ko Hung) has had four men selected to transport a gift through enemy lands. They include a thief named Yao Jie (Yuen Yat-chor), Bu the dynamite expert (Fan Mui-sang), a postman named Ma (Leung Kar-Yan) and conman Fu Jun (Chow Yun-Fat). They have a week to deliver the box and must never open it. They’re joined by Guihwa (Cherie Chung Cho-hung), who wants to free her sister from slavery somewhere in the city.

It seems simple, but soon there is a ninja, masked killers on ice skates and all manner of criminals out to take whatever is in the package. Yuen Woo-Ping directed the action.

Chow Yun-Fat may be the selling point to American audiences, but Leung Kar-Yan is the hero. But I mean, ice skating ninjas. That’s worth watching.

Director Ronny Yu also made The Bride with the White Hair before coming to the U.S. where he directed Bride of Chucky and Freddy vs. Jason before going back home to make Fearless.

The 88 Films blu ray of this movie has the Hong Kong and export versions of the film, two sets of commentary, one with Frank Djeng and Ronny Yu and the other with Stephan Hammond, as well as interviews with Chow Yun-Fat, Leung Kar-Yan and Ronny Yu, and a trailer. You can get it from MVD.
