In one of his early films, acclaimed director John Woo crafts an action-packed tale of a son who recruits two master swordsmen to help avenge his father's murder.
Overview:
During his wedding celebrations, the scholarly Kao (Hoi San Lee) is deposed by the brutal Pai. He swears revenge, only to be warned off such action by his old teacher. To Kao's aid comes Chang (Damian Lee/Liu Sung), an expert sword fighter who had only recently hung up his blade. Also on the scene are Green (Wei Pai), a wandering alcoholic assassin who is being wooed by a high-class whore, and Pray, who is watching from the sidelines, intent on killing Chang to win the reputation of master swordsman. Chang's mother dies, and Kao arranges her funeral. Meanwhile, Kao's teacher is attacked by Pray, and his followers massacred. Chang challenges Pray to a duel and wins. He then teams up with Green to take on Pai - who's all too happy to take them on. But the duo's loyalty is soon tested, and they learn that, between friends, there are many moves to be made.
