Director Chu Yuan was already famous for his many collaborations with respected novelist Ku Lung and for his introduction of detective thriller ingredients into the martial arts movie genre. But this production was made even more special by the rare presence of superstar David Chiang. Here he gives another great performance as kung-fu knight Shen Lang, who stumbles across grave robbers while on the trail of a martial arts mass murderer. There’s intrigue, betrayals, and battles galore before the last plot is revealed and the final murderer is defeated.

Viewing Notes
Fun talk-y — sometimes action-y — Shaw film for the cast and sets. Ching Li’s character being jealous for the entire movie is hilarious. David Chiang is great and even Danny Lee has some good scenes as Panda of the Beggar Clan. No shocker that Lo Lieh steals every scene he’s in.
The overview really oversells this movie. Haha
