The Eagle Shooting Heroes
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Eagle Shooting Heroes is a 1993 comedy film from Hong Kong, directed by Jeff Lau Chun-Wai. It is a parody of the novel The Legend of the Condor Heroes, written by Jinyong. The movie was said to be caused by the overbudgeting of another movie Ashes of Time. In order to cover up the cost of the yet unfinished movie, the director decided to use the whole cast to shoot a "quick-and-dirty" movie and made it on show during the Chinese Lunar New Year, a period for Hong Kong movie industry to harvest the cash.
