The Eagle Shooting Heroes (traditional Chinese: 射鵰英雄傳之東成西就) is a 1993 wuxia comedy film from Hong Kong, directed by Jeff Lau Chun-Wai. The film is a parody of the novel The Legend of the Condor Heroes, written by Jinyong. The movie was said to be caused by the over-budgeting of Wong Kar-Wai's Ashes of Time. In order to cover up the cost of the yet unfinished movie, the director decided to use the whole cast to shoot a "quick-and-dirty" movie for show during the Chinese Lunar New Year, a period for Hong Kong movie industry to harvest the cash.
