The Iceman Cometh (simplified Chinese: 急冻奇侠; traditional Chinese: 急凍奇俠) (also known as The Time Warriors), is a 1989 Hong Kong martial arts fantasy film directed by Clarence Fok. The film stars Yuen Biao, Maggie Cheung and Yuen Wah. The film was released theatrically in Hong Kong on 18 August 1989.
Yuen Biao and Yuen Wah (alongside their opera school brother Yuen Tak) also served as action choreographers on the film. Similar to Highlander the film combines elements of sci-fi and historical fantasy with a contemporary setting and action. The film was nominated for three Hong Kong Film Awards in 1990. The film is not related to the Eugene O'Neill play.
A remake, titled simply Iceman, was released in April 2014 and a sequel to that remake, Iceman: The Time Traveller on November 2, 2018.
