Rendezvous with Death (1980)

Directed by Sun Chung

Eastern | Action

Overview

Sun Chung had been recognized as an expert comedy and crime thriller director, but he was to gain even greater acclaim for his soulful, powerful, intelligent, and beautifully-made martial arts epics. This stands alongside The Deadly Breaking Sword and The Kung-fu Instructor as one of his very best. It’s not so much the plot – a master swordsman protects a treasure chest on a dangerous journey – that makes this great, but what Sun does with it, inspiring the cast and crew to some of their finest work.

Length 98 minutes

Good story and the great Chen Kuan Tai in the lead with Lieh Lo in supporting role. Some fun make-up and character interactions.
