Despite that, Chang & prolific screenwriter Ngai Fong, to me, doesn't entirely convey the necessary weight of the Ti Lung & David Chiang brother relationship. To warrant Chiang to take vengeance in such a brutal way, you have to feel that there was a really special bond between him and his brother. That I didn't feel anyway. Seeing as the film has a strong, quiet and suave leading performance by David Chiang, the flaws aren't as severe as they could've been. Chang Cheh keeps the movie going at a good pace and amidst all the, almost too extensive, bloodshed, moments of eerie slow motion usage becomes perhaps the definite highlight of his work on this film. Vengeance is not another classic collaboration between the stars and director but gradually, their efforts would result in classics like The Blood Brothers though so fans will certainly want to experience it from the early stages.
