For ten years, Cho has been in the snow of Mount Shin Fung waiting for a rare flower to blossom that will cure his wife who, back in Chung Yuan, is slowly killing all of the members of the Eight Big Clans. Something Cho did to her early in their marriage has turned her hair white and driven her mad. Cho's nephew, Kit, marries Lyre; they are deeply in love. On their wedding night, Ni-Chang, the bride with white hair, kidnaps Lyre and takes her to her harem of fighting women to indoctrinate her against Kit. Kit tries to lead a rescue party, but they are up against formidable opponents. Can Cho come in time with the blossom to soften Ni-Chang's heart?

Evengyny Thanks for the memories!
Exoticalot People are voting emotionally.
Invaderbank The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.
Paynbob It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.
victorsyrmis The Best Chinese/Hong Kong Action flick you'll ever see. And it's 20 years old. Ronny Hu set the standard with this classic action packed HK spectacle. A must for budding action directors..
Puppetmister There's some confusion in these reviews between the first and second movies. The sequel was rushed into production to capitalise on the success of the first, so obviously there is a drop in quality. Brigitte Lin did not "retire" as such, but got married, which in Hong Kong cinema often counts as the same thing - its seen as bad form if a woman has to work because it suggests that the husband is not providing. The rest of us know that acting in movies doesn't actually count as real work, but we almost lost Maggie Cheung to this odd syndrome, and even Michelle Yeoh retired for the few years when she was married to a big name producer. Anyway, Brigitte Lin is still fine in this film (great to see a woman "of a certain age" still given such a strong part in a HK film), despite her performance being simplistically villainous throughout. And Christy Chung is fantastic in a cigarette chewing pastiche of Chow Yun Fat. The gender politics in this movie are particularly striking - the men are mostly sexist pigs trembling in the face of female empowerment, while the women inhabit a man-hating commune where they are gradually eradicating the two-timing dogs from their world ("Men. I see one, I kill one."). Both are somewhat reprehensible in their own way, but in the Asian context, it is notable that many such films indulge fantasies of powerful evil women permitting spectacular displays of forceful sexuality which is always punished or destroyed at the end to return the gender balance to its patriarchal, safe norm. As such, it fits neatly into all the categories which have made Hong Kong films so fascinating and extreme to Western viewers.
Shahram-2 After watching The bride with white hair, I just couldn't wait to watch it's sequel, The bride with white hair 2. I thought that number one was Great. But after hearing the negative reviews most people gave the bride with white hair 2 , I became discouraged. But It didn't matter. I had to see the sequel and see what happened to decide for myself. I'm so glad I did, because this movie was the greatest, most emotional love story ever. It was better than number 1. It had more action and more humour. Much more EDGE OF YOUR SEAT suspense. It wasn't as meaningful as the first one, It had a lot more action. But YET AGAIN the Cinematography was spectacular. The best ever. Both Directors did a marvelous job. And the visuals and music were great. The music really added something. If you haven't seen this, then see it. Every movie goer should. And the ending. What a great ending. The best ending for any Romance movie or ANY movie. It was so beautiful. That one scene is one I can never forget. I just wish that they would have tried to put both the bride with white hair 1 & 2 in the theatres here, in the west. What a shame. Oh well. Just watch it and Enjoy this BRILLIANT MASTERPIECE
Valentin-7 This is one romantic movie can make me cry everytime I watched it. The ending is so beautiful, that I cannot think about any other way to end the story better than this one. Probably, the most beautiful love stories usuallydon't have happy endings, but I do think this one has. Just like the boy said at the end," it doesn't matter her hairs are black or white, the most important thing is that they finally can be together."Afterall, love is the only real element in a love story.
