Who directed and produced New Dragon Gate Inn?
Raymond Lee is credited as director, while Tsui Hark produced the film through Film Workshop. It is not a 1972 Lau Kar-wing production, as some catalog descriptions incorrectly claim.
Who plays the innkeeper Jade in New Dragon Gate Inn?
Maggie Cheung plays the cunning innkeeper Jade, also known as Jin Xiangyu. The principal cast also includes Brigitte Lin, Tony Leung Ka-fai, and Donnie Yen as the eunuch Cao Shaoqin.
How is New Dragon Gate Inn different from the 1967 original?
The remake is faster, more sensual, and more overtly comic, with Jade given a much larger role in the intrigue. Its early-1990s Hong Kong action style also uses more rapid editing and flamboyant wire-assisted swordplay.
