Tony Ching Siu-Tung (the filmmaker responsible for classic hits CHINESE
GHOST STORY, DORORO,
SWORDSMAN
and many more) directs this update of a Tsui Hark's
GREEN SNAKE. The story deals with the romance of a mortal man
and the spirit of a white snake, plus a monk that comes between them.
Specifically, two female spirits, White Snake and Green Snake, meet
a young aspiring doctor. White Snake rescues him; they fall in love
and marry (without him knowing of her true background). Meanwhile, Reverend
Hai - played by Jet Li (who appears to be having the time of his life)
- is a monk dedicated to ridding the earth of invading demons and spirits.
