Viewing Notes
Another early drama/romance with less martial arts from Chang Cheh, though the final set piece battle on Flying Fish Island makes up for that to an extent. I loved the set design for the island but unfortunately too little of the story focuses on the evil henchmen who are built up early and then dispensed with all too quickly.
