Viewing Notes

This movie really has it all, including some nice humorous moments. It gets pretty heavy eventually and actually has a moral to it which serves to differentiate it from a lot of martial arts movies from the same time period. Definitely worth checking out if you’re a fan of the genre.

The restored print is gorgeous too, with beautiful, saturated colors. A Shaw Brothers production, the remastered DVD is released through Dragon Dynasty.
