Viewing Notes
Dubbed, but at least it was widescreen. This is the American cut that I think was released in theaters in the states two years later, in 1973.
Technically this is a Wu Xia film, not kung fu, as it features weapons and wire work more than kung fu.
Even the dubbed version is pretty damn good. Lots of fun stuff happening with some excellent fight scenes featuring a wide variety of weapons. I’d love to see an original subtitled print of this some day.
