White Dragon (2004)


This movie is a spoof of itself. A martial arts farce that plays at being a martial arts tour de force. Ultimately it is what many movies are - a love story with some laughs and some tears along the way.
Phoenix is a school girl concerned mostly with her looks who has a plan to meet Prince Tin-yang. Her plan works and she gains an invitation to come play her flute for him at the palace. But, before she can go, the infamous killer, Chicken Feathers murders the school principal and Phoenix's aged aunt reveals herself to be White Dragon and fights Chicken Feathers. She looses the battle and almost dies. Fearing that she will die and Chicken Feathers will never be caught, she passes her powers to Phoenix. And when she passes her power, it's just like a video game complete with sound effects and proper music, plus a life bar across the bottom of the screen to show Phoenix charging up.
