A journalist attempting to solve a mystery in "Martial World" enlists the aid of a master fighter and a woman named Green Breeze. They go to a mysterious castle where they come across poisonous butterflies and a black-leather-clad killer.
The new MEI AH DVD "The Butterfly Murders" is a very welcome release, as the only time I have seen this debut effort by TSUI HARK was by watching a very poorly transferred VCD.

The story is confusing enough without having subtitles wholly obscured. That is what happened with the VCD.

The film seems to be only sympathetic towards two characters FONG the writer and a female warrior GREEN SHADOW. In turn they appear allied to the TIEN clan leader, who has also been invited to the SHUM castle.

The castle becomes another character - its exterior grim and barren when the main characters arrive, rather those in AGATHA CHRISTIE's "Ten little Indians". And when they are subjected to the first of many relentless attacks by butterflies, they find refuge underground.

The underground is a maze, with mysterious rooms suddenly appearing and concealing the butterflies themselves; arsenals of elaborate weapons, and so forth.

I wonder if we were not intended to be as confused as all those invited to the castle, to their deaths, as the film plays out: to know is to die, to quote Darius Jedburgh ("Edge of darkness," 1986).

This is one of the few HK films that I have seen that has thrown me re its plot and its characters: it took me a long time to really identify the actors and their characters. That said, I was very impressed with the staging of the action which is plentiful and varied; intrigued with the villain and his suit of body armour (it seemed something out of a Mario Bava slasher film), and quietly applauded the cynical ending, but was upset that once again the filmmakers should use so much Jerry Goldsmith ("Planet of the apes") and Ennio Morricone ("Moses") in the soundtrack.

An entertaining debut by Tsui Hark! Tsui Hark's directorial debut is this very obscure kung fu murder mystery with death scenes and stylistic touches that are seemingly drawn from the Italian giallo genre. In essence, the setting is a spooky, cobwebby old castle, whose corridors and secret passageways are haunted by a mysterious figure clad in black armour who kills with butterflies. There's some further intrigue and back story about past conspiracies but essentially what you see is what you get with this one.

THE BUTTERFLY MURDERS is a weird film indeed and one that's not entirely successful, although I give Hark credit for making something so unlike any other film I can mention. The stone-faced heroes seem as brutal and unforgiving as the villain of the piece while at times the bloody fights are shoehorned into the plot to give the viewer an action kick. On a visual sense this film works very well and the villain looks fantastic; the effects of the butterflies work well too and as others have noted, bring back a frisson of excitement from THE BIRDS. Overall, I find that it doesn't hold together particularly well, and at times the pacing is perhaps a little too slow and unfocused, but fans of generally weird cinema will get a kick out of it.
