The story is quite simple but effective - After witnessing the murder of his family and kidnapping of his sister, Chang Yi gets trained up in the martial arts and goes off to exact his vengeance on the three responsible. This might not sound like a particularly original plot - and it isn't. The strength of 'Bells of Death' is the classy way in which the story is told, the cinematography and direction is top notch and times reminded me of a cross between a King Hu film and a Sergie Leone film which can only be a good thing!

Although I am a fan of the genre I often find that the simplistic and staged fight choreography of some of these films can be a bit off-putting - this is not the case in 'Bells of Death' the action is quick, precise and bloody.

Highly recommended!

A great cast, a rousing soundtrack, spectacular locations, some vicious swordplay and a great story make 14 Amazons well worth a look!
