Archaeologist Shum finds an antique jade with supernatural power in Greece. The stone is wanted both by KGB's agent Karoff and the Interpol. Shum asks his friend Nike (Andy Lau) for help. However, Shum is finally caught by KGB but the jade is slipped into the hands of a boy called Pan ( the nephew of Nike).
Magic Crystal successfully merges martial arts heavy action-adventure, comedy and a kid fantasy subplot about a talking magic rock together. On paper, it sounds silly, but it's quite enjoyable, inventive and has some heart. There is a high dose of fighting, whether its hand-to-hand, or with swords, spears and umbrellas for a change. Andy Lau can be seen here in one of his few action-heavy roles and cuts a fine figure. But our Western export duo Cynthia Rothrock and Richard Norton put up a great fight against each other in the final.
Magic Crystal is an absolutely entertaining genre mix, which above all offers really great fight action and should more than satisfy fans in this respect.
