David Chiang and Ti Lung ... that might just be enough. I know it is generally speaking for me. But I might not be "normal" or what others consider to be normal I reckon. So if you are not aware of Shaw Brothers movies and also are blissfully unaware of who those two are that I mentioned (also star in this movie), than I might have to elaborate a bit more.

Now those two have done quite a few movies and especially David Chiang is one of my personal favorites. And it is not just because of his fine looks (that may be something notewhile for those attracted to him I reckon though), but because of his charisma and what he displays on screen. He played so many roles that required him to play with his sword (a real or rather plastic one that is), that he surely learned a lot. Ok so he also used trampolines a lot - all that jumping. But the sword and kung fu fighting is the one that matters.

Especially in a movie like this, were he and Ti Lung seem to have issues with each other. Trying to impress a woman but not just that ... because where do ones loyalties lie? And what are the motivations? Is it just the moral compass that seems to be very nicely tuned? Or is there something else? Questions arise and answers are given ... but overall there is a lot of action to be seen! And quite some blood spilled (very fake blood, but still)

Mandarin-language cinema across Mainland China, Taiwan, and Singapore explores historical reflection, cultural identity, and personal sacrifice, often expressed through poetic visuals and sweeping narratives. In Mainland China, this takes the form of allegory and large-scale epics that reflect on national history. Taiwan emphasizes intimate modernist realism, generational change, and the search for identity. Singapore contributes stories of migration, multiculturalism, and the negotiation of tradition in a globalized city.
