This is a great movie which celebrates the scientific ingenuity of the Chinese culture. Long before the Western world developed hi-tech missile technology, Chinese martial artist were flinging daggers that had cruise missle technology built into them – the daggers corrected midflight course, spiralled, turned and even calculated alternate routes to the target inflight. No target was spared, them daggers had a hit rate of 100 % !!!
I only wish they had had the capability to pre-program their horses to navigate long distance so the poor rider could take a nap. Khair, for that innovation, you’d have to wait for another movie from Honkywood.

It was actually a really entertaining movie. Don’t mock it. ![]()
Re: House Of The Flying Daggers
My favorite part of the movie was the last fight between the two heroes. The fight lasted an eternity, autumn gave way to winter snow and they kept fighting. In the end, after having expended all martial arts moves, the lads resorted to indiscriminate hacking at each other which was later followed by mutual stabbing in the respective tummies. And yet, they both lived. The dead Zyang Zi-li was resurrected for 5 mins to say her last goodbyes to the heros and then she embraced death again. Phew!
Waisay Mehnaz, you are right: The movie is entertaining but in a cure-your-insomnia kinda way.
