THE LEGEND OF WISELY is an enjoyable addition to the Wisely series of Hong Kong science fiction movies made over the last few decades and featuring the titular character as a famous novelist investigating strange, sci fi-related mysteries. It's not as out there as THE CAT but it's still worth a look and reminded of Jackie's ARMOUR OF GOD a great deal. Wisely (in the form of Samuel Hui) gets involved in the threat of the famous "dragon pearl" from a Nepalese monastery and finds rival factions competing for possession of it. Most of the action is set in a picturesque Egypt, and to add to the fun Shaw Brothers legend Ti Lung plays in support. The film offers a good mix of Indiana Jones-style globetrotting adventure, furious fight scenes, a spiky Joey Wang and a big effects-fuelled climax.
