Set in the waning years of the Ching Dynasty, this dramatic, tragic, romantic, blood-soaked martial arts tale of betrayal and revenge explores one of the most sensational scandals in Chinese history and marked the true ascension of its director and actors to superstar status. In fact, Ti Lung won Taiwan's Golden Horse Award for Outstanding Performance as the challenging role of a jealous provincial governor who kills his friend in order to steal the man's wife.

Summary: Good story and Good acting
Comment: I was highly impressed with the quality of acting and the very gripping story line the overall production and the sets in this film are great, I'm a big Chen Kuan Ti fan which is why I purchased this movie. I would recommend this movie to any of those haters out there that think that martial art movies are not a serious genre and that good acting and a good story does exist in some of these movies.

Summary: great movie
Comment: I got this movie for Ti Lung, Chen Kuan Tai, and David Chiang. Wow, was I surprised at what I got. Ti Lung is probably the best kung fu "actor" maybe ever and David Chiang proves to be close behind him in this film. In a setting somewhat similar to the movie Hero, David Chiang plays a prisoner who explains why he assassinated a general of the Qing army. What unfolds is a very captivating story of 2 bandits (Kuan Tai and Chiang) and an officer of the Qing army who meet by chance on the road and become friends. The kung fu is pretty good but watching Chen Kuan Tai when he was first coming up is spectacular. I have never seen him look better while he is jumping around, doing kicks, and displaying some of the fiercest fighting I have seen from him. With a woman involved and an unusually GREAT story from Cheng Cheh and of course Ni Kuang, this is as good as a war "epic" you are going to get from the Shaw Brothers studios. And with it being directed by Cheh, we certainly get a heroic ending. Hard to explain, it is the same as his other movies, but when the Cheng Cheh ending comes around this time, it was much deeper than any Venom's film.
Don't buy this movie expecting one of the fastest paced, greatest mind blowing kung fu movies ever, it is just a great movie.
