Spontaneous combustion of the human body has been widely accepted as impossible. People generally don't just burst into flames for no reason. This fact serves as the premise for the trilling Kung-fu mystery adventure that is Detective Dee and the Mystery of the Phantom Flame. The soon to be first female empress of china Wu Zetian, calls upon the unparalleled wisdom of a man she herself previously exiled; the titular detective Dee Renjie. She hopes that he will be able to solve the case of these "Phantom Flame" murders before her coronation occurs, or her own life is taken by the blazing inferno. Directed by Hark Tsui (Seven Swords) choreographed by stunt-director Sammo Hung (Ip man) and featuring Andy Lau (warlords along side Jet Li).
