The Sorcerer and The White Snake

Chinese martial-arts fantasy, starring Jet Li, retelling a version of the centuries-old tale, The White Snake.

"In this fantasy world, legend has it that goblins and monsters live in the primeval forest, and it is the job of Fa Hai (Li), a sorcerer form Jinsham Temple, to travel the world to subdue demons and slay monsters. One day young herbalist Xu Zian (Raymond Lam) is collecting herbs high in the mountains, where he is observed by two snake demons – sisters in fact, top half all woman and bottom half all snake, but who can turn themselves into either species if they wish – who enjoy a playful and carefree life. White Snake (Eva Hunag) takes a shine to Xu Zian... With the help of her sister, Green Snake (Charlene Choi), she contrives to meet Xu Zian again in human form at the local Lantern Festival, but their marriage is not looked upon favourably by Fa Hai, who is not big on human-monster relationships, and the scene is set for a showdown between Hai and his brother monks and then two snake demons, with a bemused and confused Xu Zian caught in the middle."
