Description
I'd been Googling on enchanted white snakes from the Brothers Grimm
fairy tales when I came across a very old chinese legend called
Whiye Snake.Basically a supernatural shapeshifting white snake fell
in love with a mortal "Mr Wrong",despite warnings from her sister
celestial being Green Snake.In the end Mr Wrong ticks off the
Emperor and White Snake gives her life defending him.It's been
rewritten a few times and in the 1980's a fantasy paperback came
out that drew heavily on the White Snake story.
Over at Youtube they have several clips from a recent White Snake
movie, including this one

In this one Mr Wrong is played by a actress and it appears White
Snake can now breath fire and took Kung Fu lessons from Bruce Lee
