      First of all, Zunlong is really handsome, especially that pair of eyes Shadowman's skills are super powerful. The setting is very interesting. Please give me a dozen superhero movies for more than two hours. I don't feel bored. The main line is personally...

      Wherever Zunlong performs, he is so dazzling and full of aura! I gave him all the points. If it weren't for the Chinese Golden Man, there would be a lot of seats. Without him, no one would watch this...

    Movie quotes

    • Lamont Cranston: The sun is shining...

      Dr. Roy Tam: [finishing the code phrase of The Shadow] But the ice is slippery.

      Dr. Roy Tam: You're an agent of The Shadow!

      Lamont Cranston: [feigning ignorance] Who?

    • Moe Shrevnitz: [puts a ring from the Shadow on Tam's finger] Don't ever take it off.

      Dr. Roy Tam: [confused] Who *are* you?

      Moe Shrevnitz: [holds up his hand with an identical ring on it] Somebody who owes him their life... somebody just like *you*.

    • Lamont Cranston: Do you have *any* *idea* who you just kidnapped?

      Tulku: Cranston; Lamont Cranston.

      Lamont Cranston: You know my real name?

      Tulku: Yes. I also know that for as long as you can remember, you struggled against your own black heart and always lost. You watched your sprit, your very face change as the beast claws its way out from within you. You are in great pain, aren't you?

      [Cranston leaps at the Tulku, who magically vanishes and reappears]

      Tulku: You know what evil lurks in the hearts of men, for you have seen that evil in your own heart. Every man pays a price for redemption; this is yours.

      Lamont Cranston: I'm not lookin' for redemption!

      Tulku: You have no choice: you *will* be redeemed, because I will teach you to use your black shadow to fight evil.
