Summary: a classic film!
Comment: whooo...i never expected the flick was going to be great....the storyline is about the ching dynasty tyring to go to taiwan to kill general cheng from the ming dynasty. However the plan was cut short when the prince of the ching dynasty was assasinated by one of the mings guards(wong)....the general assigned eagle (white haired guy) on taking charge with the military and to go after wong.
On the other hand, Liu is a wanderer who take his skills to the test against wong. At first he does not have any side to anyone until he found the secret of the necklace worn by a beautiful japanese lady who looks after wong. There is a good twist on the story during this part.
Ok the action is off the chain...liu is a really good kicker. He shows combination of side, front, and round flying kicks. He also does a great high flying power kick. His a versatile fighter because his great at both arm and leg combat and it is the same case for the villain eagle. Both of them really shines and delivers a raw martial art battle with no wire but pure martial arts creative demonstration. As far as for wong, his fighting skills are limited to the arm. Wong barely uses his legs making him vulnerable from the high front downward kick by eagle. However, wong does manage to do a high flying kick but only a few time. The final fight scene is just outstanding for a good classic kung fu film....very creatively done.
I also want to mention about the great coountryside of which this movie takes place, showing great view of mountains and rivers during fights.
The sound is great and the picture is alright which comes in full screen. If u interested on great classic kung fu film then u should definetely give this movie a shot, im glad i did thats why i give this movie a grade of 4.5/5 enjoy!

Summary: lots of fights!
Comment: This movie really caught me by surprise!! . It came as a double feature the other movie was crap. I would gladly pay twenty times what i paid. Its old school at its absolute best. you don't have to fast forward much to get to fights and there fantastic! As far as a plot? I was too distracted by the action. There isn't a whole lot of goofiness like a lot of martial art flicks. The picture quality of my dvd is very decent. If you old school collectors miss this then you been cheated. Oh by the way there aren't a large variety of different fighters but the 3 main fighters carry it over the top

The worst is bad transformation from (whatever format) to DVD. Just bad DVD.. i wish never purchased this DVD. Bad Bad Bad Bad DVD...

Summary: great kung fu in what had ot be one of the cheapest movies of all time
Comment: Now if you were to tell me that they made this movie in less than a week, I would easily believe you. The story is almost non existent with no good twists, just everything as standard as can be. But the fu gets 5 stars EASY. There are only 3 people who really fight and man do they shine. Don wong and liu ho at it again and I would have to say their fitht was better than the short ones in secret rivals. Wong isn't the greatest, but he looks tough as hell and can pull out some high flying kicks. The last reviewer mistook him for lo lieh, hwo he did that I have no idea, but he also said they teamed up on the white hair guy which leads me to believe he has not seen this. But if there is movie with liu and lieh teaming up, then tell me what you were wathcing. So basically wong and liu have to team up agianst eagle han after wong went agianst him and liu and wong go p against a lot of other people. I have to say that ALL the fight scenes in this movie kicked as, not just the final one. And there is a scene where the camera cuts and goes to a huge zoom out shot, and wong's and han's doubles are the most ridiculous things i have ever seen. They do great acrobatics but the hair for eagle's double is truly a kung fu classic moment. All in all, enough fights for a no story-line high-kicking cheapie. Picture quality is of course the standard MAT full screen, but hey, at least i have seen this now.

Summary: The Death Duel of Kung Fu - A MUST SEE CLASSIC!
Comment: The fighting scenes awesome. I'm talking about the guy with the tremendous kicking and splitting abilities. If you want to see a guy wax the behind of his enemies while being doubled and trippled teamed by splitting and kicking - well this is the flick for you. In my opinion this guy is the real star of this flick. He brings the real energy here. I'm telling you his kicks are devestating! No swords, no knives, no partners - NO PROBLEM!
The other guy ((Lo Lieh), he was a little lame throughout but in the end when he teamed up with the leg fighter to beat up the classic white haired villan he seemed to come alive. The plot is there - at least it has one! This is a must see classic for all old school Kung Fu fans.
The last fighting scene was totally awesome as well as a bit funny to me. There's nothing like a flying punch in your face unawares! I'm glad they brought this one to DVD!
