The Ming are destroyed by the Manchus, which causes a series of retaliations and counter retaliations from both sides, as undercover spies and top fighters go up against one another in order to settle scores. Centrally, one evil person, To Ko Lan (Eagle Han), a master of kung fu, is hired to track down and bring in the head of a daring Ming assassin. The Ming assassin is Sun Shing Kwei (Don Wong Tao), who has a series of altercations not only with the evil To Ko Lan but also with another Chinese patriot, Sung Hsin (John Liu), who eventually he teams up with in order to take on Lan.
There's some superb display of kicks, weapons and general fighting here, which is the main attraction here. The cast is good, the acting as well, however, the plot is just about passable. There's too much repetition of guys meeting, fighting, then Repeat - there're a lack of drive in the story, even the espionage and twist isn't well done. It's the Kung fu that kept me watching.
