Fox Legend (1991)

If you can't understand the synopsis, this will help.

First of all, if you are not into old movies, don't waste your time on this.
This is not my generation. I only decided to watch it since the title suggested the legend of foxes. Also, HongKong movies are very popular before.
Story: As a whole, it is good. I did not expect the ending. I thought I would see more of the "legend" part but that's me, I expected a lot. If you have HK film exposure, you will expect some action scenes. Again, of course, it's unlike the modern action scene performances. The story showed how foxes (or wolves as per the subtitle) were portrayed in ancient times, the females are seductive, alluring, and has to possess beauty. "The more beautiful, the more dangerous." This is the mentality- humans are dangerous and wolves are dangerous. And that's how the story started. There is a skillful hunter hunting a powerful prey, the only one who can dispell her spells. The romance here does not include intimate kissing scenes, actually, there's none of that, it did not show it like that. Even so, the love story is not as boring as you can imagine.
Cast: However, the ones listed here did not include Brother Ten's name (this is according to the sub of the link shared in the comment section), the female lead's love interest and the FL's mother's name.
FL: The only daughter of what I would refer to as the wolf queen/fox queen (the sub used "wolf" throughout). She fell in love with a human, the apprentice of her mother's enemy.
ML: The 10th son of the Wei family who guards the only object that can make the wolves perish forever. He freed the FL who was caged when he was young.
Hunter King: Appeared to be like an hermit, the only skillful hunter who can defeat the mother of the FL, the 'wolf queen', he knows spells, has fighting skills, and can use magic. He became the master of the ML after the guardian of the ML died.
Wolf Queen: She lives to seek revenge for the hunter who hurt her. She left her daughter to escape but used her once she was freed to get the object and the human heart she needed to revive their master or the wolf king (?) to kill his enemy- the hunter.
ML's guardian: Skillful, handicapped, but always protected the ML and the Wei family's treasure.
Music: Well, the 90s sound effect 😁 okay but not really my cup of tea.
The acting is overall good, I think I would have enjoyed it better with better sub😁. Each did their role justice. The love story is not bad. I would love if there were more fight scenes. I thought I'd see more of the ML and FL in action, but yeah. The costume is okay, the effects are of the old film setting. I would watch it again if I find a better sub.
Watch this at your own risk.
