Hong Kong cinema goes full comic book madness in Saviour of the Soul! Inspired by City Hunter but transformed into something uniquely Hong Kong, this film blends slick action, wild visuals, and larger-than-life characters. We break down its manga and anime influences, its dazzling style, and its place in the careers of Andy Lau, Anita Mui, and Aaron Kwok. Plus, the collaborative magic behind its production. With Kenny B and Paul Fox.
