A REDEMPTION FOR THE BANDIT WANG YU!
7 January 2021
Real-life Triad and former HK no.1 action star Wang Yu, plays a fictional Triad boss who's the leader of the Red Lantern gang in China begin of '900. He kidnaps a famus lady, but she succeeds in making him a patriot. Just another one in the line of low-budget actioners Wang Yu made in Taiwan after he divorced in a no-friendly way from HK's Shaw Bros. It was released in Taiwan 8/2/72 and directed by War-movies specialist Ting Shan Hsi (who also made 800 HEROES, a sort of THE LONGEST DAY of Taiwan cinema). Stuntmen actors Shan Mao and Lung Fei are also in this, as they were in almost any Kung-Fu production made in Taiwan, from Wang Yu's to Bruce Li's vehicles. The action scenes are standard swinging-arm fare. For Wang Yu completists only.
