The Magic Aster


The story is set in some indistinct ancient time in China. On an idyllic mountain blossoming with exotic flora and fauna lives Malang (Leon Lai), a kind of Chinese Tarzan. He is keeper of the magic aster, a lilac-like flower with legendary powers of bestowing happiness upon its owner. Malang rescues an old man (Yao Ming) who strayed into the mountain and promptly falls in love with his daughter, Xiaolan (Chen Hao). He goes courting her with presents of melons and a choir of singing frogs. Dalan (Lin Chi-ling), Xiaolan's materialistic twin sister, opens the door, and is unimpressed. Lin, who speaks with an insouciant sex-kitten drawl, imbues the improbable mistaken identity farce with unexpected feminine allure. Meanwhile, a witch threatens to destroy the area's wild life balance by overrunning everywhere with vines and creepers. She uses some trinkets to bribe Dalan into stealing the magic aster. Malang and his animal pals fight against the witch's hydra-like killer vines in drawn-out finale.
