Viewing Notes

We get double the Chang Pei-pei in DRAGON SWAMP as she plays a mother-daughter combination who are separated and don’t immediately know each other when they’re finally reunited. Pair that with Lo Lieh as a bad guy with a repentant heart and some weird, fantasy settings and you’ve got a strangely different film than normal.
