It is a pity that this film has been so badly misrepresented here as an alternate of some Phillipino hack film named for Bruce Le.
Green Dragon Inn is classic of the "old school" chop-sock 'fu film, a remake of an earlier King Hu film so respected that it was remade again as Dragon Inn in the '90s.
Produced by (Polly) Shaun Kuan Ling Feng, who also co-stars (she was in the original); probably directed by legendary Shaw Bros. veteran King Hu (who was at a low point of his career). the story is quite strong, with robust acting from all. Lo Lieh presents the best performance of his career.
The pan-and-scan of the existing American release hardly does this film justice. The pacing is very good, the fight scenes are excellent, the dramatic moments convincing. There is an indirectly presented political message in the film - a stable society must be grounded in law, not the whim of the rich and powerful - which remains true today. There are also moments of wry humor to remind us that the filmmakers know what they're doing, this is not a genre film that is "accidently" also a good film, but a good film that happens to be a genre film.
It is now available on DVD in a package with its original title. Definitely worth a viewing or two.
