Viewing Notes

A typically convoluted plot of double-crosses and hidden identities, but a pretty good martial arts flick with a lot of great action scenes and some spectacular kills.

Part of the Sword Masters series on a Well Go USA disc, the transfer is good but not great, with some serious artifacts especially in the middle portion of the movie during the action scenes. Still well worth a watch.
