Viewing Notes

Better the second around. Watched it again to get a better understanding of the motivations behind the revenge of Iron Swallow. Made more sense that the kung fu master was attempting to keep it a secret by offing all those that Iron Swallow was targeting so that the truth would not be revealed. Also gained more knowledge around the mysterious stranger that appears. The final fight is terrific. Would love to own a clean print of this on DVD.
