The best quote from this movie is Des Mangan's comment at the end and that is: just so you know, the best way to cure a brain tumor is not with a gun. I won't explain any more, so if you want to know what I am talking about then you best see the film. It is a pretty good film and is described as typical Hong Kong action. It contains slick action scenes, maniacal bad guys, and magic. When I watched this movie the first thought that entered my mind was a roleplaying game called Feng Shui. This movie has everything one would want to expect from a Hong Kong movie.
There is a lot of background to this, but that is what makes the film even more entertaining. There are sites around the world called Feng Shui sites. If ones ancestors are buried at one of these sites then the generations to come will receive great fortune, whether is be wealth, power, or wisdom. An evil tyrant is buried in this sight, and the person who found the site, a magician known as a geomancer, is hunted down, but he manages to escape. Unfortunately the tyrant kills an innocent bystander so the geomancer has the man buried in this site and well as his father. Thus, there are three people who are blessed by the site. Unfortunately, because there is a tyrant buried at the site, it has been corrupted and the ancestors do experience fortune, but after 24 years, this begins to turn back on them. Thus they must go to the site and destroy the tomb of the tyrant.
Another problem is that the country where the site is in the throws of a military coup. It is not a two way, but a three way battle. A military leader, the son of the tyrant, takes over from the president and there is another group of rebels trying to take over from the tyrant. This tyrant is also building a military base on the sight so that he might draw the power of the sight and become invincible.
Bury me High is a pretty slick movie. The martial arts scenes are very good, though the best scene is there fight in the pool at night with the army surrounding them with torches. The direction, especially in this scene, is very smooth and spectacular. The director knew what he was doing when it came to making this movie.
