Surreal Hong Kong Action Star Wars Mashup

    A legendary Hong Kong action director, Hark Tsui, wanted to combine the then cutting edge effects of the original "Star Wars" with his lauded style of Hong Kong cinema. With a boat load of cash at their disposal, the production pulled various special effects artists from Star Wars, Star Trek and Tron on board, and casted big name Hong Kong stars.

The film, "Zu Warriors from the Magic Mountain" is a fantastic visual feast, although the story itself is a little dull and loaded. The rest of the movie is technically viable - the production and sound design are brilliant.  I would come in hungry for the swirling technicolor wanderlust that it really is.

I have seen those characters in many of the action games which I used to play in my childhood. I think this reviews are really impressive and interesting but not a enough stuff about it, kindly provide some more details about the same.
Great job
