Siu-Ming Lau

Swordsman tells the tale of happy-go-lucky swordsman Ling (Sam Hui), who endeavors with his sidekick Kiddo (Cecilia Yip) to deliver a message from his master to another swordsman. But the road through the World of Martial Arts is treacherous, as the two become embroiled in the search for the "Sacred Scroll", a legendary document which will grant its reader supernatural powers. Evil eunuchs, and a variety of nefarious types (including Yuen Wah and Jacky Cheung) are after the scroll, and Ling's master may also be involved.

Action superstar Jackie Chan (Rush Hour 2, Shanghai Knights) combines his high-flying style with state-of-the-art special effects as he unleashes the power of The Medallion, the film Roger Ebert gives a big "Thumbs Up!" Chan plays Hong Kong detective Eddie Yang, who works with the beautiful Interpol agent Nicole (Claire Forlani from Meet Joe Black and The Rock) and the bumbling agent Watson (Lee Evans of Mouse Hunt) to try to rescue a boy from the clutches of the villainous Snakehead (Warlock's Julian Sands).
