Trivia

The animated opening sequence actually pays homage to many famous cover arts of the Fung Wen comics which the movie Storm Warriors was based on. Examples are: Evil Wind sitting in front of his Blizzard Blade(Issue#85) Lord Godless bursting in the town gate (Issue#79), Cloud picking the one true Ulimate Sword from the countless Ultimate Swords in the Sword Sacrificial Event(Issue#46), Evil Wind facing behind with the Dragon Spine tied to his back while holding his broken Blizzard Blade(Issue#109), etc.

Goofs

When Wind was told to enter the "Evil pool" he left his blade behind him. He wasn't shown having his blade when he burst out of the pool to save his friends and left bare handed. But when he shows up in front of Cloud and Lord Godless he's holding his blade which should be still in the Lord Wicked's hide out.

User Reviews

A Great Visual Feast With Lots Of Storytelling Flaws.

Recently seen this film on DVD and to tell you the truth this movie is superb in terms of visuals and martial arts choreography.But story wise,I find this a bit of a let down.Being no fan of the original comic books or the previous feature film(which happens to have the same lead actors),I kinda expect it to deliver more than what I have seen the trailers.Despite the film's bad script and simple execution,I still personally enjoyed watching this movie due to its unique visual feasts(yes, the spectacular fight scenes especially during the films climax) and over the top production which is similar or equivalent to Hollywood productions.Go and see it only if you are a martial arts and love fantasy cum action films!If you are the type who loves watching serious and good movies, I suggest you give this movie a miss.
