Finally on DVD
A great Ming Dynasty flick with near
Shaw-like production values. This film did
use Shaw sets, but it was produced by Wu Ma
after he left Shaw studios in order to begin his
own prosperous career.
Reviewer extraordinare, Tony Mustafa, wrote:
"Ti Lung is Kao Fei Ying, a former Shaolin leader who abandoned his temple to take up residency with
the Ching Dynasty. The Ching Emperor (Chan Hui Man), intent on destroying the Shaolin Temple
once and for all, gives Kao the rank of Marshall, and uses Kao’s considerable talents to strike a fatal
blow to the oppressed people of ancient China. However, Kao has not really abandoned his people or
his faith—he is attempting to ingratiate himself into the Ching hierarchy, so he can position himself
to assassinate the Emperor when the time is right."
The dvd is neither widescreen nor subtitled, but is really
worth checking out. Do yourself a favor
and rent this epic piece of film history.
