Another heroic swordplay drama from Chang Cheh. This was shot immediately after One-Armed Swordsman and contains almost the same cast. Fans of One-Armed Swordsman will appreciate this.
Set around 300 BC, Wang-Yu plays the heroic swordsman who seeks fame and glory by fighting for the better of his country. When the opportunity arises he has to make the choice of whether to pursue his dream of dying with honour on the battlefield or living his the rest of his days with his beloved.
For it's age the action is good, although there's not huge amounts of it. Wang-Yu takes on loads of soldiers, swordsman etc with quite a bit of blood and guts being spilled.
I have watched the celestial remastered version, the sound and picture quality is great. Recommended.
