The final official chapter in the 'Aces.' saga sees yet another change of director. This time, one of Hong Kong's greatest ever directors, Liu Chia Liang, takes over and the style of the film now turns to kung fu rather than outlandish action.

One of Hong Kong's top heart-throbs, Leslie Cheung joins the old-hands for another tale of theft and dirty-dealing, this time centring on the Terracotta warriors in China. The film boasts a truly stellar cast and good production values, but sadly the saga had run out of steam. The poor box-office returns for this film proved that audiences wanted a change from what had become a national institution. Even drafting in The Pops as director proved fruitless as 'Aces. 5' is watchable, but certainly the weakest episode so far.
