Plot:
Though Anita Mui gets top billing in Wu Yen, the undisputed star of the film is none other than Sammi Cheng Sau-Man, who became a box-office sensation last year thanks to Needing You and Summer Holiday. Now she gets to headline her own Lunar New Year film, co-starring Mui and still-hot Cecilia Cheung. The classic tale of ugly warrior Chung Mo-Yim (or Zhong Wu-Yen) has been told before, most notably by Carol Cheng Yu-Ling in an old TVB serial. Brought to us by new comedymeisters Johnnie To and Wai Ka-Fai, this new flick reimagines Chung Mo-Yim as a costume comedy that channels Stephen Chow's mo lei tau comedies of the early nineties.
Chung Mo-Yim (Sammi Cheng) is a woman warrior who's fated to marry the Emperor (Anita Mui in a cross-dressing role). The two first meet when the Emperor accidentally frees the evil Fairy Enchantress (Cecilia Cheung), who then proceeds to get between Mo-Yim and the Emperor by proffering his/her affections. Mo-Yim spurns the Enchantress, so the Enchantress puts a curse on Mo-Yim. As long as she loves the Emperor, she'll be marred by a hideous mark on her face. Unlike the old TVB series, the mark isn't a half-black, half-white number, it's a simple red mark across one of Mo-Yim's eyes. She still looks pretty, but for some reason everyone in the movie runs like she's the Elephant Man. Undaunted, Mo-Yim swears to become Empress, but not without difficulties.
