Movies don't get much odder than this: Tea Fight. Applying ancient curses, modern duels, underground rivalries, and journeyman adventures to, yes, the art of tea, Tea Fight rolls out stylishly like a flight-of-fancy manga adaptation, except it's actually an original story from Taiwan director Wang Ye Ming. This fun and bewildering film is all the more entertaining for enlisting the A-list Pan-Asian cast of F4 heartthrob Vic Chou (Linger), popular Japanese actress Toda Erika (Death Note: The Last Name), acclaimed actor Kagawa Teruyuki (Tokyo Sonata), top Taiwan actress Janine Chang (what on earth have I done wrong?!), and Hong Kong veteran Eric Tsang to play along with serious faces. Even the scroll painting-inspired animation sequence that opens the film is first-rate, the work of noted Japanese animation house Studio 4C° (Tekkon Kinkreet). In days of yore in ancient China, there were two legendary teas that outshone them all: Male Golden Tea and Female Golden Tea. Male Golden Tea makes drinkers aggressive, while Female Golden Tea is calming; and the two teas combined holds the key to immortality itself. The two prestigious houses of tea face off in a do-or-die tea-tasting competition, or tea fight if you will, in which the Female Golden Tea prevails. Enraged by the loss, the supporters of Male Golden Tea exterminate the house of Female Golden Tea in a fiery rampage.The tea's current owner, Yagi Kei (Kagawa Teruyuki) wants nothing to do with it, blaming his family's misfortunes on the curse of the golden tea. Yagi's daughter Mikiko (Toda Erika), however, wants to reunite the Female and Male Golden Teas to lift the curse, and force her drunken father to shape up. Against her father's wishes, Mikiko heads to Taiwan to study tea. There she crosses paths with Yang (Vic Chou), an enigmatic and possibly dangerous tea dealer who's determined to acquire the Female Golden Tea.
