- ट्रिवियाCynthia Rothrock accidentally injured Richard Norton during the filming a fight scene involving weapons, resulting in a small scar on his forehead.
- गूफ़Whenever there are crowds of people in the Greece scenes you can see that several of them look towards the camera and crew. (Like many Hong Kong movies of this era, these scenes were shot without permits, so it is likely that those people were not hired extras, but were genuine tourists and visitors who just happened to be there at the time of filming.)

फीचर्ड रिव्यू
I sat down to watch the 1986 movie "Mo Fei Cui" (aka "The Magic Crystal") here in 2022 for the first time. I had never heard about the movie prior to sitting down to watch it.
The movie's synopsis didn't really make a good point of selling the contents of the movie, but I still opted to watch it, since it was a movie that I hadn't already seen. However, I wasn't harboring any particular expectations to writer and director Jing Wong.
The storyline started out quite nicely enough and actually seemed like a fair enough movie, but then suddenly there was a sentient crystal introduced, and the movie took on a more family-friendly demeanor. I wasn't expecting that turn of events, and it would have been nice to know that the movie was a family adventure with elements of action and comedy as well. But truth be told, then there was actually a little bit of everything for everyone in the audience by all the genres mixed in here.
I have to be honest and say that it was Andy Lau that was the main attraction here for me, because I have never been a fan of Cynthia Rothrock. The movie does have a good handful of Hong Kong actors and actresses on the cast list, mostly minorly known performers, but a few familiar faces here and there if you are an avid fan of the Hong Kong cinema. I wasn't really familiar with Richard Norton, but he definitely put on a good performance in "Mo Fei Cui".
Something that bothered me, when I sat down to watch "Mo Fei Cui", was the fact that all dialogue was dubbed into Cantonese, even the English speaking character's dialogue. That just doesn't sit right with me, especially so since dubbing is just a stupid thing.
There is a good amount of action throughout the course of the movie, and that definitely helped carry the movie, especially at the times where the storyline took on a bit too far out there comedy approach or go all family-friendly. And Andy Lau sure did surprise me with his action performance in "Mo Fei Cui".
My rating of "Mo Fei Cui" lands on a five out of ten stars. The movie suffered from having a storyline that went from being a proper action adventure to a family-friendly action adventure.
