This internationally popular tale of a brother and sister seeking vengeance for the death of their parents through the mythical yin/yang Holy Flame technique is an eye-filling epic. Kuo Chue (a.k.a. Philip Kwok), famous as the star of Chang Cheh’s internationally famous “Venom” film series, both co-stars and choreographs this impressive tale - leading to a vaunted “action director” career with both the 007 thriller Tomorrow Never Dies and the cult classic Brotherhood of the Wolf to his credit.

Viewing Notes
This is a wild-ass movie that has more in common with Taiwanese martial arts/fantasy films from that time period than it does with most Shaw Brothers movies. I love that Philip Kwok is in this as an elder master of the martial arts and mentor/father to one of the two orphaned children. So much fun! This would be a great movie night movie.
