The beloved works of Jin Yong (a.k.a. Louis Cha) are brought to wacky life in The Eagle Shooting Heroes , a comic take on his classic novel Dong Cheng Xi Jiu . Featuring a standard wuxia plotline spun deliriously out of control for comic effect, The Eagle Shooting Heroes is one bizarre, over-the-top, and relentlessly funny motion picture. An all-star cast of Hong Kong actors - Brigitte Lin, Joey Wang, Maggie Cheung, Leslie Cheung, Jacky Cheung, Tony Leung Chiu Wai, Tony Leung Ka Fai, Veronica Yip, Carina Lau, and Kenny Bee - fight, fume, cross-dress, and behave generally silly as a who's who of classic Jin Yong characters, all looking for riches, love, fame, or maybe just a little pity. Regardless of their desires, it's all for laughs, and director Jeff Lau works overtime to make The Eagle Shooting Heroes a seriously deranged and hilarious motion picture with comic action sequences from the great Sammo Hung! Produced by Wong Kar Wai, who based his epic Ashes of Time on the same Jin Yong novel...and even used some of the same actors in the exact same roles!
