Quotes:

Snow White: Your Dad wants to dump you, he wants you to marry a Korean prince. The Koreans love beating their wives! At least nine times per day. A wife is shared among 6 to 7 brothers. 9 times 6 equals 63, So you'll be beaten 63 times per day!

Don King and the Seven Virgins

All rightly then. If you are in the mood for beautiful women, transsexuals, raving vampires, a Chinese Dr Frank N. Footer with Don King hair, severed heads, and a talking penis, then this is the movie for you. The plot is absurdly complicated in this parody of Chinese martial arts epics, and at times the movie actually is hilarious. For no particularly good reason it becomes imperative to assemble a team of seven virgins, led by the delectable Maggie Cheung. If only they had cast favorite gender bender Brigitte Lin as the evil sword dude, this movie could have achieved cult status. "Holy Weapon" is still a good diversion, a guilty pleasure, but not one to admit to.
