If you loved Detective Dee and the Mystery of the Phantom Flame, try Seven Swords
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Both films are directed by Tsui Hark, and they both carry the playful mood tag, and they sit in Action / Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Detective Dee and the Mystery of the Phantom Flame, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Seven Swords is
You live by a warrior code in a land outlawing martial arts. But a cruel enforcer threatens your people's survival. Tsui Hark revisits the wuxia genre, landing somewhere between historical drama and pure action spectacle.
