Princess Fei'er inherits the crown of Yan after her father is killed in battle. Vowing to become a warrior worthy of her father, she is wounded and goes missing after an ambush and ends up being looked after by a doctor and former warrior.
A nice film, if a little tiresome in places, and the hot-air balloon was a bit ridiculous, but Kelly Chen is beautiful (but no Maggie Cheung) and the battle scenes are impressive. There is a rather unintentionally funny bit where a General, trying to restore order, shouts "No fighting in the Sword Room!" (a bit like Dr. Strangelove). You'll have someone's eye out with that!
