Viewing Notes
Love that Fandor has a whole “chopsocky” section with movies such as this. Not a particularly great HK/Taiwanese production but it does have Chia Ling in the starring role as a badass fighter with sword. She takes down a whole troop of monks with flying guillotines! Admittedly they are pretty awful but still there’s like 20 of them.
Wait. Did I mention the GIANT eagle that swoops down on the evil doers????
Movies like this make me wish I was doing my kung fu project.
