No genre is beyond prolific auteur Li Han-hsiang, who slips from directing action to dramas to erotica with seeming ease but to great success. Li turns The Mad Monk into a hilarious scamper around the villages as the Mad Monk rushes around saving hawkers from crumbling walls and bullies, recovering stolen money for a young man and punishing a ruthless court official and his son. A fun caper with an underlying moral.
