Synopsis by Jonathan Crow

Jackie Chan stars in this period martial arts yarn -- which was originally shot in 3-D -- as Ting Chung, a kung-fu master summoned by a beautiful princess to shepherd her and her ailing brother through the notoriously dangerous "Stormy Hills" to a legendary doctor on the other side. Ting quickly realizes that danger is literally at every turn, and he is forced to contend with murderous fake monks, bandits of every stripe and shape, and a trap-laden temple. When their journey is nearly complete, Ting learns that his clients have not been truthful regarding the real reason of their journey. James Tien and Leung Siu Lung also appear.
