The Iceman Cometh
Across the centuries – the war between good and evil can never end.
Directed by Clarence Ford
Produced by Orange Sky Golden Harvest, Johnny Mak Production
A fish-out-of-water martial arts comedy that plays the clash between a 16th-century warrior and the modern world for laughs while maintaining a straightforward good-versus-evil action plot.
When 16th-century Ming guard Fong Sau-Ching sets out to capture vicious rapist Fung San, both men end up falling into a glacier to be frozen in time. Thawed out by scientists over 300 years later, the confused guard must learn to cope with the modern world and continue in his quest to vanquish his opponent.
