After three Clan leaders are assassinated, Kung Nan-Yen accuses Master Thief Chiu Liu-Hsiang as being the only man capable of the murders, but generously allows him one month to clear his name.
The movie begins with Ti Lung framed for three murders. That is as far as I dare go to summarize the movie. I would need a sentence to summarize every minute of movie time, so I won't even try. The movie is filled with fabulous style, lavish sets, flamboyant costumes, fast pacing, and complicated characters. Yet it is easy to follow. Does it make sense? I watched it twice and I find no plot holes.
I have the DVD copy with the interviews. The DVD video quality is DVD standard.
My only criticism is for lack of action. The movie is more a suspense mystery than martial arts movie. Nevertheless more action would have made it better.
