peking opera blues (1986)


aka Do ma daan.
"The more men you command the more power you have."
Peking in 1913 and whilst the warlords fight for control of the city, looting takes place. During this chaos some jewels are stolen and end up in the Peking Opera. Whilst the thief tries to get the jewels back, some spys try and use the opera as cover for their attempts to obtain incriminating letters from one of the warlords.
A well crafted mix of comedy and action, makes for a Hong Kong classic featuring Brigitte Lin, Sally Yeh and Cherie Chung.
