Another one of the dozen main character kung fu films that Yuen Chor directed. It starts out confusing as it's hard to follow the crowd of characters parading across the screen but fortunately a number of them are killed off before long and we are down to half a dozen. We also get to spend some time with a few of them so we can start to associate and care about them. A few more characters get introduced before long but it works better as they are in individual scenes.
The photography and sets are, as usual for a Yuen Chor film, excellent. The new film transfer is rich and sharp. The action is good although sometimes the actors are off time (reacting to punches that haven't happened yet). The acting is standard Shaw Bros. The subtitles are generally good but some dialog is obscure to non-Chinese audiences.
The film is slightly "adult" with some brief useless nudity and sex scenes. The fights are moderately bloody but nothing like some Chan Cheh films.
Reasonably good. If you can get through the first half-hour, you'll have a good time.
