More action please, no reason, just more action please

The movie begins with Ti Lung framed for three murders. That is as far as I dare go to summarize the movie. I would need a sentence to summarize every minute of movie time, so I won't even try. The movie is filled with fabulous style, lavish sets, flamboyant costumes, fast pacing, and complicated characters. Yet it is easy to follow. Does it make sense? I watched it twice and I find no plot holes.

I have the DVD copy with the interviews. The DVD video quality is DVD standard.

My only criticism is for lack of action. The movie is more a suspense mystery than martial arts movie. Nevertheless more action would have made it better.
