About this product

Product Information

Following up his award-winning martial-arts drama HERO, director Zhang Yimou (JU DOU, RAISE THE RED LANTERN) tells an intricately detailed love story in the swordfighting epic HOUSE OF FLYING DAGGERS, set during the final days of the Tang Dynasty. A mysterious group called the Flying Daggers is a dangerous threat to the government, so police captain Leo (Andy Lau) sends his right-hand man, Jin (Takeshi Kaneshiro), undercover to try to find the rebels' location. Jin, a notorious playboy, pretends he is a roving warrior called "Wind" and befriends Mei (Ziyi Zhang), a blind dancer who is believed to be the daughter of the former leader of the Daggers. As he leads her across the countryside, they are "attacked" by government soldiers--but these battles are staged by Leo in order to convince Mei that Jin is on her side. But when a general orders that Mei must be captured at any cost, the fighting turns real, and Jin must decide between his loyalty to his job and his growing love for Mei. Meanwhile, Mei battles her feelings for Jin as well, trying to hide her true self. Zhang's gorgeous, compelling film is filled with beautiful singing and dancing, marvelous costumes, and wonderful locations; the scene in the Bamboo Forest is unforgettable, as is the Echo Game, which Leo and Mei play in the Peony Pavilion. There are also twists throughout the film and by the time the end comes, audiences will be spinning their heads in awe and amazement at the neverending wonders of this special movie. The film is dedicated to Anita Mui, who was to have a starring role before her unexpected death.

  • Good movie, somehow low quality.

    I bought this movie on DVD and the movie is very good. Ok story, but Ziyi is just so pretty and the main characters have are not shallow. Only down fall is that, somehow this dvd looks terrible on my computer. It looks almost as if it was standard quality and not even DVD quality. It could also be that I have gotten used to 720 and 1080 resolutions. I don't know, but I have since ordered this in Blu ray instead, which I should have done so from the start.

  • Action that is artistically amazing, with a dose of love story!

    One of the best movies ever produced! There is something for everyone spliced in: the scenery is breathtaking, the action non-stop, doses of fantasy, with a love story thrown in. Simply a timeless movie that will never go out of style = AAA+

  • Great movie to watch!

    I had watched the Chinese version and it had cut quite a bit of the ending. I am very glad to watch this one and finally know how the story ends. The director did a super job to film this movie.
