Yuen Biao is
a Royal Guard in the Ming Dynasty who ends up following a killer and rapist,
Yuen Wah, into modern day HK. It’s similar to the Malcolm McDowell film "Time
after Time" when he follows Jack the Ripper into modern day San Francisco.
Anyway, Yuen Biao falls into the clutches of the conniving model/prostitute
Maggie Cheung who convinces him that women now rule the world and that he
must be her servant. The delighted look on Maggie's face as he rickshaws
her through the streets of HK is priceless. Many other gags concerning Yuen's
adjustment to the 20th century are quite funny as well. Soon though women
are being raped and killed and Yuen B. realizes Yuen Wah is in HK as well and taken up his old ways.
It is a really fun film with unfortunately one rape scene that is much too brutal and realistic for the mood of this film. The fights between YB & YW are excellent as always. One of Yuen's best films.
