| This is an extremely well done picture. The acting is excellent. The action starts off somewhat mild then grows more and more fierce as the story unfolds. The cinematography is second to none. The choreographing, the acrobatics, the continuity are superb examples of this era in martial art cinema. This film bosts an outstanding cast: Tien Feng, Lo Wei (as leader of The Five Devil's Rock gang), Yueh Hua, Ku Feng, Fan Man Sheng, Chen Hung-lieh (this guy was excellent in Death Valley another five star Yueh Hua vehicle), Chiao Chiao as the starlett. This film is not a mildly recommended picture for die hard Shaw Bros. fans it's a MUST HAVE for any fan of quality filming, very well paced storylines, woven with interesting choreographing, and supplemented with a score that is perfectly applied, providing some of the coolest melodies in Shaw Bros. history. This film is a must have for fans even mildly interested in this era of Shaw Bros. cinema. |
