Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Chor Yuen filmed this during his obsessive 'maze period'—he built elaborate labyrinth sets for three consecutive films because he loved the visual geometry.
The firearms obsession mirrors 1980s Hong Kong anxiety about modernization erasing tradition; Murang Gufang is basically capitalism with a sword.
