Saviour of the Soul (Chinese: 魔宮奇俠; released in the Philippines as The Good and the Bad) is a 1991 Hong Kong martial arts action film, directed by Corey Yuen, and starring Andy Lau, Anita Mui and Aaron Kwok.

The film adapts elements from the Japanese manga series City Hunter, including its characters, but with a mostly different plot; the manga later received an official adaptation with Jackie Chan's City Hunter in 1993.[2] Saviour of the Soul II was released in 1992, but both films are not related to each other. Saviour of the Soul is the first film produced by lead actor Lau's film company, Teamwork Motion Pictures.
