The Twins Effect II

In the mythical land of Huadu, women rule and men are treated as slaves under a cruel empress. An old prophecy warns that a boy will rise, take up a legendary sword and end her reign, so she orders the killing of every child who might match the description. Char, a young street performer, escapes that fate. Along with his adoptive brother and a pair of warrior women, he sets out on a journey to find a mythical treasure, pursued by the empress's forces. The film blends martial arts action with comedy, fantasy and romance.
