Tasked with the mission of killing a baby girl, the last member at the enemy clan. Yang, a courageous warrior, refuses to kill the baby girl and flees to save her and himself from his evil master.
It's stupid in a way you won't really hate, provided you're already in the mood for a terrible rehash of cliches from a hundred other martial arts movies and Westerns.
Set in a fantastical ghost town with a resident circus troupe and filmed on studio sets, it looks like a Sergio Leone epic as staged by Fellini, or by Lars von Trier.
