Just saw "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate" at the cinema today. It's meant to be a more fantastical re-imaginationed sequel to the classic "New Dragon Gate Inn" (新龙门客栈) (1992), which was more slapstick wuxia. If you don't watch a lot of kungfu flicks, the 1992 film had an excellent femslashy scene with the following clip (which has French subs) between the characters played by Brigitte Lin and Maggie Cheung:
Anyway, about the movie; all in all, if you are prepared to suspend your disbelief at some of the scenes, and ignore the ultra cheesy romance, it was actually a pretty fun movie. :P Again, I might be reading too much femslash these days, but from this new movie, it looks like Lin Yanqiu/Su Huirong is a definite femslash pairing, though I wouldn't mind if I saw a few fanfics involving the Tartar tribal princess (does anyone remember her character name?).
Main Female Characters Of "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate"
Ling Yanqiu
Tartar Tribal princess (played by Kwai Lun-Mei of Blue Gate Crossing (藍色大門) fame (a Taiwanese film with lesbian content!)) -- in terms of characters, I think her character rocks the most!
