Excellent kung fu flick. I loved the whip as an unconventional weapon, especially when it starts pulling legs off. Another wonderfully unconventional thing about the movie is its setting: this is the first kung fu movie I can think of that takes place in the snow. It's these little things that really help this one stand out, in addition to the great fight sequences and good twisting and turning plot. | | LOG IN TO COMMENT ON THIS REVIEW! |

Very entertaining movie featuring the beautiful and talented Cheng Pei Pei who uses the whip as her weapon. Tien Feng (the Whip Master) gives an excellent performance. Great old school classic with a good storyline. Plenty of fights. Highly recommended. | | LOG IN TO COMMENT ON THIS REVIEW! |

| Entertaining martial arts film with the intoxicating Cheng Pei-Pei as a master swordfighter known for her deadly skill wielding a powerful whip. While the fights between swords and whip may seem a little far-fetched, the film wields a compelling story of vengeance and past crimes, invoking as much a mystery as an action story. Typical for Shaw Bros films, the sets are magnificent and the color photography is beautiful... The setting is snowy northern China so we have interesting scenes on horseback in the snow and ancient icicled fortresses, and Cheng is equally compelling in a white fur cap and winter outfit. The musical score, also typical of Shaw Bros films of the era, is needle-dropped from John Barry’s James Bond scores, except for original opening and closing title music, attributed to Wang Fook-Ling. A very enjoyable revenge thriller/crime mystery set in ancient China with beautifully designed group fights and an interesting conception in its whip-versus-sword, despite a proclivity toward some pretty unconvincing flying/soaring through the air moments. |

This is a pretty good movie, which is made much better by the prescence of the beautiful Cheng Pei Pei. The story involves
a villain who is searching for Cheng Pei Pei's guardian. The villain suspects Cheng Pei Pei was trained by the man he seeks because of her prowess with the whip. Most of the fight scenes, however, are not very good. The fight scenes are obviously speeded-up, and whips are such inferior weapons as to be laughable. (Ever heard of a really famous martial artist in history who used a whip?). Still, the story is pretty good and you have Cheng Pei Pei to look at... | | LOG IN TO COMMENT ON THIS REVIEW! |
