    Another great Dragon Dynasty release. Awesome kung fu flick that actually improves with repeat viewings. I was surprised at how much was actually going on with all the different characters, and how certain characters shift back and forth during the movie. Really good stuff and...( read more) a well deserved classic. Plus, great commentary track on the DVD.

    This belongs in the Rival Schools subgenre of martial arts flicks, and it's definitely one that would top the list.
    It starts off tame enough but builds up and up and delivers devastation and betrayal that almost becomes Shakespearean. Also if you've made it half way through on...( read more)ly to find a lack a blood, don't fret, the spray will come and come hard in the last 3rd.

    Piccolo capolavoro sconosciuto del genere, a cui Tarantino ha attinto pienamente (nonché omaggiato) per il suo Kill Bill. Molto divertente.

    Lo Lieh gettin some good Kung Fu revenge against evil Japs. This is the first Shaw Brothers flick I've seen with nice technical direction. Everything spits out cool.

    A really tight, increadibly well made kung fu flick with a great cast. It's kind of weird seeing Lieh Lo play a character that isn't batshit insane.

    Way disappointed! The Shaw Brother's flick that started it all?? C'mon, 36th Chamber is far superior.
