Summary: Classic swordplay anyone?
Comment: Another good release from Rarescope. This is not a great movie, but it is very rare. Yet again, Rarescope lives up to their name. If you are a kung fu fan, just go out and buy all of Rarescope's titles. Most of them really are great movies, and the DVDs are super cheap. They are seriously some of the lowest priced DVDs you will find. If you don't buy them then they will stop releasing movies, and that would be a VERY bad thing. I for one would be devastated.
I enjoyed this movie, but it isn't really anything special. The story is about Betty Lo Ti's character finding out that she is the daughter of a very evil man (played by Sek Kin, the villain from Enter the Dragon). She gets kicked out of the Supreme Gate clan after her father steals their precious Golden Sword and Mirror. A man from another clan wants to help her out, but the only thing she is worried about is getting back the sword and mirror and being part of her old clan again. This movie deals a lot with honor, and that is what I liked most about it. The storytelling is only decent, and the action is not very good, but not too bad for 1968.
On the positive side, the acting is great, and the outdoor locations are very nice to look at. And the indoor sets are also good. If you really like old swordplays, then you may want to take a look at this. Betty Loh Ti shines brightly, and unfortunately this was made the same year that she took her own life.
I didn't go over the story very much, but I don't want to give anything away.
2.5/5
Picture quality is fine. I was expecting it to be bad, but I was pleasantly surprised. It is widescreen, and ALL of the burnt on subtitles are readable, and for once they are well written.
