| Description | |
| The Eagle Shooting Heroes (射鵰英雄傳之東成西就) is a 1993 Hong Kong wuxia comedy film directed by Jeffrey Lau and produced by Wong Kar-wai. The film is a parody of the novel The Legend of the Condor Heroes by Jin Yong, and was produced in response to the over-budgeting of Wong's 1994 film Ashes of Time, which is adapted from the same novel. In order to cover up the cost of Ashes of Time, which was still unfinished at the time, Wong decided to use the cast members to perform different roles and shoot a "quick-and-dirty" comedy film to be released during the Lunar New Year in 1993 to make as much money as possible. The Eagle Shooting Heroes has since been considered a classic example of the mo lei tau style of comedy in Hong Kong films. |
