camwynHave finished watching Hero Beyond the Boundary of Time. I don't know where the Netflix people got the idea that Tony's character was a eunuch. Eunuchs who had wives before they were castrated didn't generally have seven of 'em, nor did they retain the ability to tell cops with a straight face that they could withstand the cops beating them, kicking them, castrating them, etc. Tony's character was an old friend of the Emperor's. That's the only indication anywhere in the movie that he might be anything other than an ordinary man.
I thought it was funny, and it was better than my extremely low expectations. Granted, it was rather like an American teenage sex comedy in parts, but it at least tried to keep to regular comedy for most of its length. And it never once tried to convince me Tony had been neutered. (Hence the post title - I told someone 'if Wei is a eunuch, then I'm the King of Cambodia'.) I wouldn't bother renting it again and I wouldn't really recommend renting it unless you're a serious Tony Wai fangirl, but it was fun, and it did better than my extremely low expectations.
