Overview
A perennial Chang Cheh favorite, Anonymous Heroes focuses on two vagabond brothers, Meng Kang and Tieh who, in the search for fame and fortune, join in a rebellion against a provincial general. Used to shaking down local vendors for food and gambling away their limited funds, they are recruited by a local rebel leader who promises them a glorious adventure. The rebels plan is to steal a huge cache of new rifles set to be delivered to the barracks of the local army. With the help of an officer’s daughter, their plan starts out well, but inevitably slips toward a heroic but tragic finale.

Viewing Notes
Kind of a goofy 1920’s-set war movie with Chiang and Lung teaming up to steal guns from the army warlords for the rebels. After so many period films, it’s weird to see them in more modern clothing and their own hair!
