Detective Dee and the Mystery of the Phantom Flame

Phenomenal sets, vibrant costumes, spectacular martial arts, and gorgeous cinematography dominate this entertaining, colorful, action-packed, factually inspired, 2010 Chinese film in which a skillful detective (Andy Lau), a Supreme Court official (Chao Deng), and an empress protector (Bingbing Li) investigate the mysterious death of two supervisors (Yan Qin and Jinshan Liu), who seem to have died by spontaneous combustion, after working inside a colossal 66-yard high Buddha that was to be completed for the coronation of Empress Wu Zetian (Carina Lau) in 689 A.D during the Tang dynasty.
