About A Chinese Tall Story
The young monk Taka and his three disciples are captured by a demonic tree. Taka manages to escape thanks to the magic stick of Monkey King and decided to go free his companions. En route, he encounters a strange ally called Meiyan, a girl who is half-human and half monster. As Taka and his new friend set off on a fantastic adventure they will face many hardships and battles and may very well decide the fate of humanity and the entire universe...
Directed by Jeffrey Lau Chun-Wai, A Chinese Tall Story leans on a strong ensemble — Nicholas Tse Ting-Fung, Charlene Choi Chuek-Yin, Fan Bingbing — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about action titles of 2005.
