Viewing Notes

This one is a bit of a hidden gem in that I never hear it get mentioned along with some of the other great Shaw Brothers films. It’s got a unique plot and manages to combine a lot of different elements to make something pretty entertaining. The action choreography and wire work are great. I especially like the final battle (battles?).

Kind of shocked to see I’d watched this before because I had absolutely no recollection of it.
