    • Quotes
      • [first lines]
      • Narrator: In the Shun Chi's reign of Ching, Emp. Shin Tsu was critically ill. A fabulous flower blossoming once in two decades in a snow peak reportedly could rejuvenate and bring a dying man back to life. The court decided to send an envoy to pluck it there.
    • Crazy credits
      The original release had a montage of scenes recapping the movie playing over the credits set to the song "Red Cheeks, White Hair" sung by star Leslie Cheung. Current releases keep the montage but it now plays with an instrumental score.
