Description:
Famous writer and adventurer Wisely (played by Samuel Hui) is traveling in Egypt when he is approached by the wealthy Hop, who asks him to find his senior fellow disciple Gao Dawei (played by Teddy Robin). After receiving a letter sent by Gao Dawei himself, Wisely rushes to Nepal to meet him. Gao Dawei is at that time searching for the legendary Himalayan Dragon Pearl on behalf of Bai Qiwei (played by Ti Lung), the head of the Qing Gang. Just as success seems within reach, he finds himself hunted by a "cult." Show more Wisely helps Gao Dawei infiltrate the religious group and seize the Dragon Pearl, but during their escape the plane crashes and Gao Dawei vanishes without a trace. Wisely, who fails to escape, is brought before the five-year-old Little Living Buddha. Moved by the Little Living Buddha, Wisely promises to recover the Dragon Pearl in order to preserve this sect.
Back in Hong Kong, Wisely encounters Hop's assistant again and refuses to hand over the Dragon Pearl. He rushes at once to the Bai mansion. Bai Qiwei's sister Bai Su (played by Joey Wong)

Возможно, создатели видели какую-то философскую составляющую своего детища, а идея того, что драконы - это космические корабли, бороздящие просторы Вселенной, вообще была на тот момент гениальной новизной, но время уверенно все расставило по своим местам. Да, первое, что приходит на ум при просмотре этого фильма - конечно же, "Доспехи Бога". И "Доспехи Бога" уверенно выигрывают на несколько голов у "Легенды" по всем параметрам. А могло бы быть и по-другому.
