Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This is Tsui Hark's remake of his own 1983 film Zu Warriors from the Magic Mountain, itself based on 1930s wuxia novels.
The Kun Lun Sect represents Daoist immortality traditions; King Sky's 200-year wait echoes Chinese reincarnation beliefs about destined souls finding each other across lifetimes.
