NOTES
Title from title frames
A movie that "packs a lot of laughs and action into a beautifully shot 105 minutes" (Variety), Chinese odyssey 2002 follows royal heirs Princess Wushuang (Asian pop diva and Chungking Express heroine Faye Wong) and future Emperor Zheng De (Crouching tiger, hidden dragon's Chen Chang) as they escape the Forbidden City to taste life among Ming Dynasty China's have-nots. Combining swordfights, slapstick, satire, songs, and genuine sentiment into a lightning-paced big-screen farrago of "identity changes and gender confusions; plot contortions, clever puns and a great punchline" (Time out London)
Originally produced by Kino Lorber Edu in 2002
