What really brings this down is not the occasional lapse in taste, but the almost unbelievably lousy and repetitive music score. Still -- a great cast having fun in some really breathtaking locales, some exceptionally well-staged swordfighting action scenes (including a mesmerizing climactic fight between Shaw and Peter Boyle). . . and Genvieve Bujold, a chick who really made my toes curl back in the day. Woo woo! What's not to like?
