Green Snake is a 1993 Hong Kong fantasy drama film written, directed and produced by Tsui Hark.

Maggie Cheung, Joey Wong, Vincent Zhao and Wu Hsing-kuo star as the four aforementioned characters, with Indian actress Nagma notably featured in a pivotal scene.

A Buddhist monk named Fat-hoi (Vincent Zhao) has trained for 20 years to banish demons from the Human World.

When the Buddhist beads of the demon continues to shine Fat-hoi realizes he may have made a mistake in interfering with the Spider's path to enlightenment.

She plans to have a family with him and continue her attempts to reincarnate as a human; Green Snake is the younger and more impulsive of the two sisters but she is more prone to indulge in sensuality.

Because of White Snake's beautiful charms, Hsui Xien, once known as the toughest and most dedicated scholar of the village, starts to lose his reputation.

The night of the festival, White Snake drags an obviously-scared Hsui Xien to drink the Xionghuang wine together.

Because of the doubts he having about human sensuality, the monk decided to challenge his inner strength by letting Green Snake try to seduce him while he meditates.

Fat-hoi warns him that the sisters are snake demons and he is given an enchanted set of beads to protect himself from evil spirits.

The monk goes into their home and forcefully takes Hsui Xien into his Peaceful Land temple, situated atop an island peak, in order to "restore" him.

Hsui Xien resists becoming a monk, White Snake appears at the temple and begs for the return of her husband.

Fat-hoi recedes his surplice thereby allowing Green Snake to enter the temple to retrieve Hsui Xien who has accepted becoming a monk.

Fat-hoi intends to punish her for her crime but she forces him to acknowledge the fact that he too was complicit in the death of his fellow monks.
