Reviewed by: heinz Germany Date: 12/19/2021 I was pretty curious to finally watch Ho Chung-Tao's first effort as a lead actor (probably made before he emerged as Bruce Li in Super Dragon). But it was very disapointing in many ways... In the final "duel" he gets punched by superior villain Pai Ying numerous times without any block like a human punchback and only manages to escape that punishment by using a dirty trick (temporarly blinding him by throwing sand in his eyes) and teaming up with Tsao Chien (!!) to finally fight back. That would be only feel good, if he plays an undergog, but doesn't looks chivalrous here! (poor Pai Ying must have felt misplaced here finally got beaten up by such low level martail 'artists') Furthermore all the fights are terrible executed (probably the Martial Arts Director Wu Tong-Chiao's worst output so far, who is subsequently not billed for such job later in his career) who does not even manage to make himself looking great in his own single fight-scene, maybe he was forced to hold back his powerfull actions against his leadactor. The fight are many times over-cranked ridiciolously (they only need another funny soundtrack to be sold as slapstick or parody). It's is a pure sign of downfall in the career of once acclaimned actress Lin Chi to appear as supporting actress in such a lousy production. (Pai Ying & Ko Hsiang-Ting must have been despratly short of money, too) The video stream was terribly croped both sides, in most closeup you get to see only have of the faces, but it's bad camerawork probably, too. Adding the huge spanish subs and one get hardly any chance to make any portrait captures. If not for the cast page purpose I wouldn't have finished it after watching the first half of it. Even eye-candy Chi Lan couldn't save it. Reviewer Score: 2
