I'm a little torn on how to rate this one. mostly due to plausibility issues with the story. I know it's a martial arts movie. But still.

It was good to see Chang Cheh without a sound stage in sight. It must have been hard shooting outside after all those years inside.

Someone called this a low budget film. But I don't believe that it was. Too many people. Too many costumes. But what he didn't have were the Shaw Brothers artisans: the set designers and costumers.

It's a must-see for fans. And it isn't as bad as "Shanghai 13" or as weird as the fantastic magic baby. Thankfully, it isn't a homoerotic sausage party. Even if the streets are still paved with blood.

Not as great as his other films, since this is a low budget film after all. The fight scenes weren't all that great, the acting was pretty bad, the story was your typical bloodshed story, and everything played out how you'd expect it to. Worth picking up if you're a fan of the man's work.

Don't expect another "5 Element Ninjas", but the fight choreography isn't bad. The film is a kind of bizarre mix of old school fight choreography with the look of non-Shaw Brothers films made in the 1990's. Like any Chang Cheh film, there's lots of violence and tragedy. The stars were unknown to me so they didn't have the same charisma of past Venom greats. They are capable of performing some good acrobatics, but nothing you haven't seen Kuo Chiu, Chiang Sheng, or Lu Feng do better. However, it's a worth watching and completes anyone's Chang Cheh collection.
