You won't be disappointed!

Simply A Masterpiece

Purely Joyful Movie!

if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

Beautiful scenery, and good story sums up this gem of a martial arts film.Three individuals, Lord Conquerer (Sonny Chiba), Wind (Ekin Cheng), Cloud (Aaron Kwok) gets entangled in an ambitious conquest scheme of Lord Conquerer. Later they part ways, and battle each other.High quality is evident throughout this martial art film, and even after 10 years since it was made, it's still one of the best movie of this type. Made on high budget for Hong Kong movie, production is lavish, and scenes are breathtaking. This may be the precursor to other successful high budget movie such as "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon". You can see very young Qi Sue in the supporting role, as she's poised to be one of the A list actor of Hong Kong cinema for the next 10 years.If you haven't seen this yet, you owe it to yourself to see it. It's a beautiful movie.

Stormriders was a movie that was not highly publicised. After a friend recommended it I popped it into my player with no real expectations.From the opening credits it grabbed my attention. The music was excellent and it had a hi-tech appearance that belayed my fears that it was yet another low budget Hong Kong B-grade martial arts flick.The story progressed rather well and I became entranced in the subtleties of the plot. It flowed well from start to finish and had very little confusion that I find occurs a lot in HK movies. The action scenes while very 'Fantasy', were well balanced and not cheap. In general, Stormriders possesses a fantastic mix of stunts, CGA and musical score and will please.I have seen both the 128 min version in Chinese with subtitles, and the 91 min English dubbed version. The only serious critical comment I have with the 128 min Chinese version is that the subtitles were a little small.However watch the 91 min version at your peril!! Its missing so many scenes that it becomes so watered down that it becomes farcical. The main characters English dubbed voices don't suit the chars: Striding Cloud (Aaron Kwok)loses his essential moodiness, Jestor becomes a real on screen joke and Mud-Buddha loses his credibility as the all seeing prophet. In general you miss out on so many lovely little tidbits especially from Qi Shu (Muse) and the plot suffers terribly as you are forever fighting to catch up on what the heck is going on. You'll find yourself saying 'Hang on..!!', 'How the heck...', 'Woah, why is that..' etc.When comparing 'Stormriders'(128min version) with 'Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon', there is no comparison. It made me wonder why the latter received so much publicity and awards and Stormriders received nothing. It is seriously like comparing 'chalk and cheese'.However, the 91min version of Stormriders I would rate 3/10 and that is being 'very' generous. Seriously - 128min version or nothing.To this day, Stormriders (128 min)is up there with my very favourite all time action/martial arts movies. See it, I bet it will endear to you too:)

This is the best Honk-Kong Fantasy out there, !!BUT!! If you are about to buy it, rent it or borrow it, make sure it is the original version and nothing else!!! You will know this by checking the length of this movie which should be over 2 hours! and not 90 min as the US version. Also check the language which should be Cantonese and not English.In the US version of this flick you will miss the most important scenes and won´t understand anything because it´s cut down to the minimum.This IS one of the greatest movies. "Final Fantasy" meets "Lord Of The Rings".US version 3/10. Original version 10/10!!!

the storm riders is a big budget, special effects laden, martial arts fantasy adventure. based on a popular comic book by ma wing-sing, the film proved a massive hit in the hong-kong box office.set in a mythical chinese past, this fantasy epic is a classic tale of prophetic young heroes and a megalomaniacal warlord (played by sonny chiba) who strives to become the undisputed leader of the martial arts world. chiba excels in this movie and gives an enormously entertaining performance as 'conquer', who frequently comes across as something of a pantomime villain.critics will argue that the film relies too heavily on visual effects, but the extensive use of cgi conjures a stunning overall look and feel which is somewhere between comic book, video game and live action movie. besides, when the special effects look this good, who cares?packed full of swordplay, magic, stunning locations, ridiculous costumes and some quite incredible hair, the storm riders is arguably andrew lau's most accomplished movie to date.
