"This punkish wuxia is a thrilling comic action showcase, with the kung fu cranked to such absurd levels that hardly anyone walks in favor of flying and fists tear the air with such force that they produce tidal waves. But beneath the sparring is a scathing indictment of religious sanctimony and the social repression it engenders. A kung fu master monk, the hero of any other film, is here the villain, indiscriminately hunting down animal spirits regardless of their intentions of joining humanity and hiding his sexual insecurity behind radical notions of purity. Meanwhile, two snakes become human women and react to the mortal world in different ways: one attempts to assimilate but has her humanity defined by regressive attributes like pregnancy and desirability. The other rejects this way of life so thoroughly that she can barely retain her human form for want of returning to her old life."
