During Ming Dynasty, there was a power struggle between Eunuch Tsao and Eunuch Lee. Tsao teamed up with Lady Kao, the head of "Happy Wood", to intercept a confidential letter sent by Lee to Sun Yu-Po, the owner of Hill Villa, in order to reveal Lee's conspiracy. Ko's pal, Mon, sneaked into the villa and was put to an important position by Sun who even arranged his concubine to marry him.

Professional Review of "Butterfly Sword (Eng Dub) (DTS Version) (US Version)"
This professional review refers to Butterfly & Sword
|
One of the most boring credit sequences ever gives way to an imperial official losing his face. Literally. And we're off into the bent world inside the mind of director Chu Yen-ping. Marking the point at which the period kung fu movie goes from the unreal to the surreal, Butterfly and Sword has the temptations and turbulence of the martial world stand in for the temptations and turbulence of growing old. Are any of us the same person at forty-five that we were at 25? In Butterfly and Sword this question of identity is lethally literalized as double agents, secret identities, and masked swordsmen proliferate like a viral plague.
There's this gang of pals, see? They're happy, giggly kids and then they grow up. Michelle Yeoh, grim-faced and a slave to Eunuch Tsao, nurses a flame for Tony Leung; Donnie Yen, a drunk swordsman who keeps getting wounded to keep Michelle caring for him; and Tony Leung who plays whimsical Sing, sitting in the boughs of trees tossing little paper helicopters to the wind. He pretends to be a simple merchant for the sake of his lady love, Joey Wong, who plays with baby birds and flutters through the peaceful forest like a paper napkin. Both of them moon goonily at the landscape, the fish, and each other, much to Michelle's irritation. Bodies start to spurt pressurized blood mist as Eunuch Tsao commands Michelle to mobilize her "Happy Forest" army against the combined wicked forces of Eunuch Li and Suen (Elvis Tsui, wearing a variety of studded leather hats). Light humor and romance (when Sing goes on a business trip he gives Joey Wong a fifteen foot "To Do" list) mix with bodies being torn in seven different directions. Like a mid-life nightmare Ching Siu-tung's fevered action choreography features human arrows, floors ripped up and hurled at opponents, the previously-mentioned de-facings, and more blue-lit sword angst than you can shake a stick at. Taiwan's top director, and the auteur behind such oddities as Fantasy Mission Force and Golden Queen Commando, Chu Yen-ping outdoes himself here - behind his onscreen ravings is an anguished wailing against the implacable approach of old age. by Grady Hendrix |

| Absolutely mad little movie with a cast to die for, and OTT action choreographed by the amazing Ching Sui Tung.If you haven't already seen this you need a human (bow and) arrow put through you... Luckily, it will be in the form of Tony Leung! Buy it!! |

| Okay to see Michelle, Donnie, Tony, Jimmy & Joey but not really a flick for fights. Michelle & Donnie are the only ones worth while watching in the wire swordplay, typical of those Hong Kong cinema hey days. Nostalgic but not the keeper it may have once been considered. |
