回复 :香港功夫动作片到底对好莱坞的影响有多深？本片是较早期的一个例证。从故事情节、场景布置、演员数量以至武打镜头设计，均大量移植港片，只不过导演约翰．卡彭特始终是美国人，虽然他卖力地想拍一部纯娱乐性的东方版《魔宫传奇》，仍不免会让中国观众觉得有点非骡非马。库尔特．拉塞尔在片中饰演卡车司机波顿，他与中国好友王记去机场接王的未婚妻，但她被歹徒绑架，主使者竟是修行两千年的恶魔。王为了救未婚妻，遂伙同波顿及一群中国功夫高手闯进魔殿，和妖魔鬼怪大决斗。影片拍得颇为热闹有趣，如将它视为用美国电影技术拍摄的中国功夫片当会发现不少好玩之处。
回复 :The setting is Vienna in 1914 before the outbreak of war. The aristocratic and somewhat jaded Prince Nicki, pursued by all the ladies, begins a flirtation with Mitzi, a crippled harpist who works in a suburban wine-garden, and who is in turn idolized by Schani, an uncouth and violently jealous butcher. Their first encounter significantly takes place in front of St. Stephen's Cathedral on Corpus Christi day, with Nicki among the emperor's cavalry regiment. Later, in the refracted light of falling apple blossoms in the wine-garden--scenes of a distilled, ethereal beauty--Nicki gradually wins her faith and love. Meanwhile, amidst the sumptuous and corrupt milieu of the family palace, Nicki is drawn into complicity against his will, as his unscrupulous mother informs him he must marry Cecelia, the daughter of a wealthy commoner, in order to revive the family fortune. Mitzi has a vision of The Iron Man (a symbol of the declining power and position of the Hapsburg dynasty) and falls before the crucifix in fear; but her love remains steadfast, and she protests her faith though abused by her mother and Schani. Infuriated by her rejection, Schani threatens to kill Nicki on his wedding day unless Mitzi agrees to marry him. Following the processional splendor of the cathedral wedding, Schani appears to carry out his threat, but Mitzi arrives in time to stop him; and through the downpouring rain Nicki sadly gazes on his true love in the crowd as he drives away with his bride.
