Detective Dee and the Mystery of the Phantom Flame

Fantastiska fightscener, storslagna miljöer och en lagom intrikat story...

...is a historical epic with elements of wu xia, supernatural thrillers, and drawing-room murder mysteries.

...a master of the choreography of action.

...a consummately bizarre crowd-pleaser that throws everything at the viewer from makeshift plastic surgery by acupuncture to death by spontaneous combustion.

Nefarious intrigue abounds in this mystery, and genre master Tsui Hark makes great use of computerized composites, classic wirework, and, of course, those unforgettable spontaneous combustions.
