Trivia

It takes Aaron Kwok, Gigi Leung, and Him Law for about five to six hours to put on their special makeups; the makeups are easier for Shaofeng Feng and Shenyang Xiao, who only have to spend two to three hours. The heaviest make up goes to Chi-Ling Lin's character as the river goddess, for which she has to spend eight hours.

User Reviews

Ancient World Brought to Life

One of my favorite stories, this is really set up very well. Some of the CGI could have been more carefully executed (no spoilers, bc that's basically the core of the whole film), but the WuKong/Hanuman storyline was really well done. Hats off to the cast & crew, and to the director. The soundtrack is another great celebration of this ancient legend and the perspectives that have flourished from it.
