The Magic Crane

This kung fu fantasy, laden with low-budget special effects, features superhuman heroes and villains, and a giant crane. Anita Mui plays a woman who must intervene to prevent an all-out war between rival martial arts clans. Although the film's producer, Tsui Hark, has had many successes in Hong Kong cinema, this film was a theatrical failure; nevertheless, there should be some appeal to fans of the genre's campier offerings.
