Viewing Notes

Clearing my DVR with another Shaw Production lifted from El Rey that I haven’t seen. Cool that they have the original language version but I suspect there was not a English dub for this lesser known flick in their catalog. Not a great movie but certainly worth seeing for the crazy whip and sword fighting. Also flirts with a few horror elements but expand on them. Love Ku Feng as the villain and Shih Szu as the badass lady.
