One of the many movies from the Shaw Brothers focuses on a swordsman who becomes a sort of Robin Hood character. Like most martial arts movies, "You xia er" ("The Wandering Swordsman" in English) is an excuse to show off all sorts of moves and stunts, and boy do they! If you can picture one, chances are that they've got it here. Apparently, the movie's genre is called wuxia, meaning martial heroes. No shortage of heroics here. A lot of the stuff here looks as if it may have inspired "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon". Good times all around.
In addition to main cast members David Chiang and Lily Li, the movie features an early appearance of Bolo Yeung, more recognizable to US audiences as Bolo in "Enter the Dragon".
