Overview

A perennial Chang Cheh favorite, Anonymous Heroes focuses on two vagabond brothers, Meng Kang and Tieh who, in the search for fame and fortune, join in a rebellion against a provincial general. Used to shaking down local vendors for food and gambling away their limited funds, they are recruited by a local rebel leader who promises them a glorious adventure. The rebels plan is to steal a huge cache of new rifles set to be delivered to the barracks of the local army. With the help of an officer’s daughter, their plan starts out well, but inevitably slips toward a heroic but tragic finale.

Viewing Notes

A Shaw / Chang Cheh production that does not fit into my 100 Kung Fu movie project.

Ti Lung & David Chiang forever. So much great chemistry between them. They really are supermen taking on an entire army and wiping out dozens of soldiers. I prefer them in kung fu movies but they are so good together I’d watch them in anything.
