The Swordsman (1990)

Here is an old Chinese movie with an odd plot. The main character is a man named Asia, but the character was played by a female actress. In the movie, Asia is a master martial artist who discovered the secret to endless power and strength as well as eternal youth, but to acquire the power, he will become a woman. Basically, the more powerful he becomes, the more he becomes a woman and loose all his manhood.

Here is a movie that is unlike other movies out there. The main character, a man, had to became a woman to become more powerful and influencial to his followers. To maintain his position and remain in power, he has to transform himself into a woman. As a woman, Asia is beautiful, powerful, strong, and invinsible. There are also plenty of homosexual hints in the movie because Asia has all these women serving "her" and trying to gain his affection. At the same time, female Asia has fallen for his rival/enemy who happens to be a man. Throughout the whole movie, there are plenty of hints that Asia could in fact be bisexual because he has affections for both men and women.
