- QuizDespite being a Mandarin-language production, four languages were spoken during filming. Most of the cast spoke Mandarin (even westerner Andre Morgan, who was already a multi-lingual producer for Golden Harvest), while Hwang In-Shik and Kim Ki-Joo spoke Korean, Kazuma Kenji spoke Japanese, and Jhoon Rhee & Anne Winton spoke English. Despite being South Korean born (and Korean being his primary language), you can tell Rhee's lip movements more closely match lines from the dub and/or the English subtitles. While it's not known for sure why he spoke English instead of Korean during the production, it may have been to assist when the film would receive its eventual US release/dub, where the majority of his students (especially in the Washington DC area) were located.
- Versioni alternativeThe UK theatrical version was heavily cut to remove the whipping of the priest, as well as substantial cuts to the fight scenes, including blows to head, kicks, chain-fighting, and a man being knocked down the stairs.

Recensione in evidenza
very bland
I won't waste your time by describing the plot for this, the other reviewer already did this quite well. I will however give you my opinion of this movie. This movie is basically anti japanese propoganda. The japanese are portrayed as incredably evil b**tards who have respect for nothing, as well as having very poor martial arts skills (groups of japanese men get there asses kicked by single women on more than one occasion.) The fact that the japanese fighters lose almost every (if not every) fight in the movie kind of takes away the suspense. The plot is actually quite solid and perfect for a kung fu movie though. The problem lies in the fact that there's not much fighting. When there are fights some of the fighting is quite good, but other scenes are choreographed badly. One scene angela mao takes on six japanese in a church and kicks all their asses. The problem is they show her fighting them one by one when they're all supposed to be attacking at the same time. I gather this movie was incredably cheap considering how cheap some of the sets are. They use the same village set for when they are in korea and when they are in china without changing it at all. Some scenes are filmed at real locations though, and they look good. Overall the only real problem with the movie is it's slow moving and uninteresting plot. Since there are few fight scenes we have to rely on the plot for entertainment and, well, I wasn't entertained.
