I need help finding a movie. I think that Anita played one of the main roles but it is entirely possible that it was someone else since I haven't seen the movie for many years now. But I hope you'll be able to help me anyway.
The movie was named something with "Silver Fox" and the bad guy had the same name. I looked up all movies here at IMDb that has "Silver Fox" in the title or alternative title, I also did an aka search, nothing. I also checked for all movies that have Silver Fox character but failed as well. I watched the movie in german so maybe it was a translation thingy.
Basically it was a revenge story but had many subplots. Silver Fox is about to take revenge for his master. He uses some inhuman techniques and can make himself immortable for some time if he inhales some strange gas that he is carrying around. He also has some other type of gas that gives him the power to literally walk through someone else. The victim will then be possessed and die a horrible death.
One of the subplots is that SIlver Fox walks through the girl of the hero and he has to get medicine. But the only pill that can help her is guarded by a sort of amazone queen. The hero has to win a fighting tourney in order to win the marriage with her. This plot is mixed with another subplot, the heor thinks he knows the identity of the queen I cannot remeber everything.
Another subplot is that our hero has to take care for a young girl and that girl falls in love with him.
The woman that I think was played by Anita was the sister of one of the other main characters. She was quite crazy and overall the funniest of all characters. In fact her mimic and sense for comedy is the main reason why I think it was Anita. There was a lot of confusion in this movie on who is who, who loves who and who killed who in the past, and Anita was the middle of all the troubles.
Other meorable things:
A "breathlessness gun" that makes everybody unconsciousness.
Silver Fox becoming trapped in a mirror.
The hero's sword was flexible and he could do strange things with it.
One of the girl's favourite flower was jasmin.
In a romantic scene the moon was so big it filled more than half of the screen (the entire movie was exaggerated and making fun of itself)
Silver Fox loses an eye in one of his earlier fights.
The hero was played by a famous handsome actor but I don't know which one.
So please help me! -
