Daniel C. M @RT91944882 01/13/2025 Great choreography; action; funny and likeable characters; and a direction that makes the best out of it's low budget and lack of proper scenery. See more John A @ExcessMale 08/31/2023 The combat/action scenes (which make up at least 50% of this film) vary from convincing to semi-cartoonish and too fantastical given what gets established in the first act. A lesser still fun wuxia. See more Dick C @Joshua19930826 03/08/2023 All my credits go to King HU, who starts a total different style of "Traditional Action" film in that time... See more 12/05/2020 This is fine, but it lacks the tension and cinematic techniques that King Hu used to elevate wuxia into high art in films like A Touch of Zen. There was possibly too much fighting in this one.

BUT... I must admit that the camerawork is nimble and often surprising, and the sharp editing makes the in-camera effects and stunts work exceedingly well. It's also fascinating how this seems to be influenced by Westerns of the 1950s, while in its turn inspiring some of Quentin Tarantino's best (including Westerns). See more Read all reviews
