Adopted from Louis Cha's novel of the same Chinese title. Story of a man (Lai) caught between two women (Cheung and Lee). Cheung Man looks awfully cute bald I should say. :-) 

TSC - The young and debonair Hu is a skilled swordsman without a care in the world. Feng is a master of swords who uses his skill for power money and lust. They are destined to cross swords when Hu becomes romantically involved with Feng's illegitimate daughter. 

HO - Features the scorpion-eating, underground-burrowing dwarf, and Michelle as a witch. 

SS - (**1/2) Leon Lai is torn between a cute, nagging apothecary (Michelle Lee) and a stunning girl monk (Cheung Man): one constantly poisons him while the other rejects his advances, sort of. Nice touches include a talking kung fu horse, a poison that makes you taller and taller until your bones break apart and explode, and a golf game with a human head. The ending leaves it open for Sword of Many Loves 2.
