Upon my initial viewing, I was quite disappointed, for I felt the action, given the players--Sammo, Wilson Tong, and others--would at least hold my interest. No chance.

Another convoluted plot around seizing gold by escorts; and the rest, your guess is as good as mine. Very low production values limit this film to outdoor settings that look like a combination of countrysides and back alleys. Even the action is substandard.

"The Fast Sword", another film set around the same time, and starring most of the same cast, is a better film, has better choreographed fights, and sets. Check that one out. The only reason to see this is to has a glance at early Sammo Hung, and see how far he came in such a short period of time.

This is a movie that you will watch and rewatch when you are looking for that action fix. There are copious amounts of blood and interesting combat scenarios--in short, my kind of flick.
