possibly.
Two other Tsui Hark movies are up there: Once Upon a Time in China, and The Blade
Sammo Hung's Blade of Fury. I so love this movie. At times melodramatic, but also very powerful. When a soldier tries to save a wounded soldier, the dying soldier says, "We came to kill, not to save."
Lau Ka-leung's The Eight Diagram Pole Fighter. This is a flawed movie shot just two years before the studio folded, meaning cut budget, and the main star, Alexander Fu Sheng, died early into the production. It is still nothing short of a masterpiece in my book.
