phenomenal speed are combined with devastating weaponry in battle scenes
of awesome power.
Acclaimed by Quentin "Reservoir Dogs" Tarantino as the
ultimate "Manga In Motion" future fantasy extravaganza,
"Savoir Of The Soul" blends breathtaking camerawork and
extraordinary special effects with hallucinatory plotting.
Co-directed by David Lai and Yuen Kwai, and starring Andy Lau and Anita
Mui.
The 21st century. Andy Lau and Kenny Bee are ruthless bounty-hunters,
walking a razor's edge between good and evil, light and darkness. Both
are in love with Anita Mui, a beautiful and highly-skilled martial
artist who is torn between them. Her twin sister, an explosives expert at
work on the development of a revolutionary asphyxiation bullet,
completes this awesome quartet. Seemingly invincible, they are poised to
face their greatest challenge. Aaron Kwok (The Silver Fox), a
consummately-evil antihero who by supernatural means transforms his
victims into "Terrible Angels", mindless puppets utterly
subservient to his malevolent will.
During a ferocious battle with his arch-enemy, Anita Mui is badly injured
and Kenny Bee kliied trying to rescue her. She goes into hiding, leaving
Andy, and Kenny's kid sister to find her, and destroy The Silver Fox.
A dazzling "Manga In Motion" extravaganza, "Savior Of The
Soul" blends spectaculair cinematography, incredible special effects,
an astonishing stereo soundtrack and awesome combat action: truly a perfect
example of Hong Kong future fantasy way over the edge.
