Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The Blade (1995) was a commercial flop that nearly killed Tsui Hark's career, making this 2006 retrospective a fascinating act of reclamation.
Tsui's admission that he made The Blade as a direct response to Wong Kar-wai's Ashes of Time adds delicious context to their legendary rivalry.
