However, it is released now as "The Elimination Pursuit." The opening credits open with a ballad sung in Mandarin, and one thing I didn't particularly like was that the opening credits consisted of all the fight scenes from the movie itself. Even movie previews don't reveal this much. This sequence ruined any sense or possibility of suspense that you get from watching scenes unfold before your eyes for the very first time.

I was tempted not to watch any further and skip the opening credits, but having paid for this disc, I ultimately sat through it so that I felt like I got my money's worth by watching every second of it. Fortunately, the movie turned out to be reasonably entertaining.

Anyway, the story involves gang of assassins called the "devil clan" wrecking havoc across the land.

A silent swordsman clad all in black called the Lone Wolf appears to be working for them. He carries a very cool looking curved sword. None the less, even without the opening credits giving away the plot, or even without the Rarescope guys changing the title of movie from "3 Famous Constables," it was easy to figure out the Lone Wolf is probably some sort of an undercover policeman or bounty hunter. After all, if he's the lead male character, he can't possibly be a bad guy, right?

The fight scenes are not bad, but they are more like Japanese samurai film sword fights than the typical Hong Kong kung fu movie battles that go on and on. The Lone Wolf cuts down his opposition very efficiently and quickly, and the one real climax in the film is waiting to hear what he actually says when he finally speaks.
