Viewing Notes
Freeing up some space on my DVR with some Jimmy Wang Yu Shaw Brothers sword fighting action.
More drama than action but has some nice flourishes including the final sequence. Basically Wang Yu is sought to enact revenge for the murder of a clan. He’s a super badass swordsman that hung it up to be a butcher but returns to become The Assassin.
