Mainly I wanted to watch this because Brigitte Lin's character inspired the Xena character. It was hard for me to get into. It's very theatrical and melodramatic. There is some beautiful scenery and cinematography. It's very much a culture I'm not used to immersing myself in. That being said I did like it and found it interesting and different.

I could see some similarities between Lucy Lawless and Brigitte Lin. Mainly besides the fact they are both beautiful women, was "the stare." That deadpan "don't mess with me" stare. Yeah, they both have that. Some of the imagery look similar to Hercules The Gauntlet, such as raiders on horses and warriors running holding flags, and of course the gauntlet scene.

This may not be for everybody, but I'd say give it a try, you never know. I watched reading the subtitles. It was a little hard at times to follow the story. It's fantasy. But a very different type of fantasy than what I am used to. I recommend for people that like Xena and want to see the inspiration for her. I gave it a 7/10.

The Bride with white hair is one of the best movies to come out of Hong Kong. The movie packed with great shots, lightning costumes and sets. Ofcourse you can tell the budget wasn't as high as you're average Hollywood movie but that only adds to this movies charm. There is enough story and good acting to please the mainstream audience and enough action and speed to satisfy the kung fu and action fans. Actualy I think you compare this one with the great Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon!!! If you liked that one be sure to check this one out to. Ofcourse don't watch the dubbed print, go for the original one and won't be disapointed. There is also a sequel.

Lian Nichang, the main character of this film, comes from Liang Yusheng's novel Baifa Monü Zhuan, which also served as source material for Wolf Devil Woman. However, director Ronny Yu saw this film as more of a romance than a fighting movie, believing that the central story was truly about the struggled against fate and the need to fulfill heroic duty.

Zhuo Yihang (Leslie Cheung) is a swordsman raised in the world of chivalry, charged with leading the eight major martial arts schools against an evil cult led by cojoined twins named Ji Wushuang. Those very same twins have raised Lian Nichang (Brigette Lin), a wolf-girl orphaned as an infant, making her one of the strongest martial artists of all time.

Can two enemies find love despite being raised to hate one another? And when forced to turn upon one another, can anyone survive?

This is a gorgeous film that demands to be watched. It's like a moving painting, a film that's just as much a romance as one devoted to wire work and swordplay. And for people like me who demand those types of things, there is stil plenty of fight scenes.

You could say that this movie looks like a dream, but I've never had one quite so vivid.
