This prime example of the satisfying, crowd-pleasing martial arts action adventure was both written and directed by Lin Fu-ti, with an eye toward keeping the customer satisfied. Chuan Yuan is the noble, powerful hero and Shu Pei-pei, one of Shaw's top swordswoman, is a reluctant bride who comes upon a rebellion plot. They are joined by a large cast of expert fighters and actors - all keeping the intrigue and adventure foremost in the film. There's even a nice surprise ending amidst all the action.
