My rating: 2 stars out of 4
IMDb
(DVD, Crash Cinema)
A man wins a chess match and as his prize the men on the losing team promise to do whatever he asks. He sends them on a mission to protect an important, though unnamed, person. So they trek across the countryside becoming involved in a series of escapades. The action occasionally breaks for comedy and even a few songs. The best scene takes place at a dilapidated hotel where the staff consists of handicapped people and the meals include bread stuffed with human fingers. Later, it turns out they are escorting a princess in search of buried treasure. A good fight scene towards the end between a "beggar", disguised as a man most of the film although it is obvious she is a girl, and a large number of hapless participants. A bizarre but always entertaining Taiwanese martial arts film.
