Legendary Hong Kong action director Tsui Hark brings another magic mix of kung fu and CGI to the big screen in this off-the-wall period fantasy. A prequel to Hark’s 2011 Detective Dee, this martial arts film brings us The Creature From the Black Lagoon by way of the Tang Dynasty. A sea monster is haunting the Imperial capital of Louyang. Is it simply pursuing a beautiful courtesan? Or is it interested in overthrowing the reigning Emperor? Young Detective Dee is on the case! With plenty of absurd humor and action, Young Detective Dee delivers a finale to end all finales.
