Reviewed by: MrBooth Date: 07/30/2023 Yueh Hua assassinates a government minister, and chief of security Lo Lieh is given five days to bring him in or face execution for failing to protect his ward. I swear Shaw Brothers picked names out of a hat for some of their films, the chase in THE LONG CHASE lasts all of ten minutes, Lo Lieh catches up with Yueh Hua at the next town and they spend most of the film hanging out together there. The catch is that he has to find proof that Yueh Hua is the assassin he is looking for. This is all for the best, really, Yueh Hua and Lo Lieh are two of my favourite actors and their interplay in the film is a delight. It's a rather good film all round - the story is strong and the action is impressively dynamic and pleasingly bloodthirsty. Weird that nobody seems to know it exists! Reviewer Score: 8

Reviewed by: Sydneyguy Date: 09/05/2006 Summary: PRetty good What makes this more interesting than yoour usual SB movie is the various twists that occur!! Yueh Hua kills a minister and Lo Lieh has 4 days to bring him in before he gets his head chopped off for being unable to capture Yueh Hua Yueh Hua finds a man killed by explosions and does his last request, to give a letter to the judge to say that he has died and failed his mission to destory the bandits in the mountain. Lo Lieh pursues him, and despite Yueh Hua cutting off his beard, the inn keeps daughter lying that Yueh Hua is his cousin, the bad guys calling him by a different name that Lo Lieh continutes to be suspcious Yueh hua assumes the dead mans identity and track down the bandits with Lo Lieh never truely convinced of his identity. The bandits, however, wreck havoc and the two stars clean house!! Did i confuse you? ANd i have only mentioned half the plot twists!! The action is what it is, like every other fight scene during that time, its the characters and the plot that drive this movie. Worth watching though it is 84 minutes long, a little short Reviewer Score: 7
