If you loved Twin Dragons, try Young Detective Dee: Rise of the Sea Dragon

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 / Crime territory. If that's the register that drew you to Twin Dragons, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Young Detective Dee: Rise of the Sea Dragon is

You arrive in the imperial capital as a rookie jurist eager to join the prosecution corps. The empress has hired the infamous sleuth Yuchi to hunt a serpentine terror that stalks the docks each night. Tsui Hark’s 2013 wuxia clockwork then spins its gears, layering conspiracies atop swordplay. The film leaves you anchored to a dynasty’s first faltering steps.
