The 1993 movie Green Snake is a Hong Kong film adapted from a novel by Lilian Lee. It is based on an old Chinese folk tale about the White Snake and Green Snake.
The movie is part fantasy, part super natural, and part Wire Fu. It is about two snake spirits that are in training to take human form. Because Snakes are evil they are constantly battling with several crazed Taoists and a Buddhist monk. There are many WTF moments in this movie and some of the special effects are super cheesy.
