A very controversial film. Some rank it in the top 5 kung fu films ever made, while others hate it. It’s not a masterpiece and not too original, but offers pretty good entertainment and some great fights. |

Along his travels he encounters a village where a young man (Dayo Wong) offers to become his guide. They are ambushed and Wolf displays his superior fighting skills as he defeats a small army. Wong is amazed and wants to learn Wolf's sword technique and begins to refer to him as ‘Hero'.
In a nearby temple, Wolf is attacked and is taken in by a young woman who lives in the village. The woman turns out to be the one he has been searching for and his one true love. The only problem is that Wolf cannot remember her but he begins to fall in love with her all over again.
