Kung Fu Cult Master (1993)

Kung Fu Cult Master is a 1993 Hong Kong wuxia film adapted from Louis Cha’s novel The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber. Directed by Wong Jing, it featured fight choreography by Sammo Hung and starred Jet Li, Sharla Cheung, Chingmy Yau, and Gigi Lai in the lead roles. The controversy of the film was changing the protagonist’s character from a righteous hero to a power-hungry and vengeful hypocrite, and thus not faithful to the novel. As the film performed poorly at the box office, plans for its sequels were cancelled, hence its cliffhanger ending was left unresolved. Film Earned HK$10,437,757 – (US $1,336,520)
