Perils of the Sentimental Swordsman (1982)

Directed by Chor Yuen

Eastern | Action

Overview

Chu Liu-hsiang, the charming, capable, and, yes, sentimental, swordsman is back in action for this extremely well-named third in the hit box-office series. The titanic team of director Chu Yuan and novelist Ku Lung wisely choose to give their hero a whole new, non-stop, cliffhanger-fraught adventure featuring a mystery swordsman, a sensual swordswoman, an imperial assassin, a Ghost Mansion, the Bat Island, a booby-trapped tunnel, double crosses, and secret missions. And there are no fewer than three martial arts choreographers on hand to guide the amazing mayhem.

Length 87 minutes

Viewing Notes

And now the third Sentimental Swordsman movie! This one is a slog compared to the others. Sure it’s fun to see Ti Lung, Lo Lieh and company but the story isn’t nearly as compelling despite some cool elements like the Ghost Mansion.

Also recorded the daytime version on El Rey that removes the swear words. Dumb! Also there’s a different English dubbing crew which I’m not certain how I feel about it.
