Wai Siu-Bo travels to the future on a mission to cure the emperor's illness. 'Hero Beyond The Boundary Of Time' as it was translated for SBS is just what the doctored ordered: It is Incredible; fun and finny slapstick action with the usual dubious logic which glues together anything which has time-travel, Kung-Fu Magic and looking for a wife in the 1990's , and no, it is NOT politically correct. It is action-packed slapstick Kung-Fu.
