When three gang leaders turn up dead (having ingested Magic Water, which causes their bodies to bloat immediately upon death), Master Thief Chu (Ti Lung) becomes a logical suspect. Madam Yin, who heads up a gang of Amazonian murderesses (who live in lavish subterranean caves), gives Chu one month to prove his innocence. En route, he encounters everything from a ronin to a masked killer to the aforementioned Amazons- and some gender-unspecific folks (male and female) who may or may not be what they seem... CLANS OF INTRIGUE is one of those fascinating martial arts movies that surprises the viewer at every turn. It'd be great if some publisher would make available in English the novels upon which many of these movies are based.
