this be one of my favourite martial art movie from hong kong . it be one of john woo early film and one of only a few traditional martial art movie he direct . you can see his influence from work under chang cheh in this film . the action be good and the fight choreography be conduct by fong hak on who appear a one of the bad guy in the movie . it star wei pei of five venom fame and a whole host of face familiar to fan of golden harvest and shaw brother production . the story line be interesting and there be a few decent plot twist and the build up of the character and their relationship with each other be cleverly do . this film have only have a vhs release in the uk . medium asia have release a region 3 dvd and there be version of it on dvd available from the usa . the film be lovely to watch in either it original language or in it english dub version . i highly recommend this movie .
