seriously, it is an awesome film! The giant buddha fight scene is particularly memorable, because it made no sense in any context that I can think of. They climb this statue to retrieve some thingy that they need for the good of humanity, and about half way up there's all these monks just chillin', lying around on buddha, taking it easy. Fighting ensues!!! Many monks fall to terrible deaths! Buddha's head falls off!!!
I can't remember much about the film. I'm pretty sure that Chow Yun Fat's character is an anthropologist, and he gets a curse that makes his veins explode, but I can't remember how or why.
oh, and that little baby thing that the evil guy keeps under his cloak kicks everyone's ass!
I really have to watch this film again.
