It's kind of a funny story to see Renny Harlin directing career when from Die Hard 2,Cliffhanger to crappy CGI-fest like Legend of the Ancient Sword but compared this movie to The Thousand Faces of Dunjia a movie with a similar plot directed and written by two of the best men from old Hong-Kong cinema industry like Woo Ping Yuen and Tsui Hark and believe me or not Legend of the Ancient Sword actually miles better and I'm rather rewatch this movie ten times than to rewatch that movie one time
