Viewing Notes
A great rivals team up of Ti Lung and Alexander Fu Sheng against an interesting assortment of villians, the Eagle Clan. The Eagle Clan leader and his talon hand weapons were particularly bad ass! I have a hard time understanding how this movie doesn’t get mentioned in the same breath as other martial arts classics like 36th Chamber of the Shaolin and Master of the Flying Guillotine.
Definitely in my top 10 for Shaw Brothers martial arts films.
