I found something strange about the cast and crew of that one (but I must admit I have not seen it yet myself)
1) Director Han Ying-Chieh? He never directed any else except that strange: 'Quick Cut without Knife (1974)' who has no Chinese title and not any cast!
http://www.hkmdb.com/db/movies/edit/ind ... ay_set=eng - I guess we should remove such strange entries - hope it was not me
After long search i found the Original Film entry In KMDB and added the link, too (To no surprise it shows an Korean director)
2) The Cast has 2-3 Taiwanese stars plus lots of Korean actors - Surely no Shaw Brothers Actor Lau Gong - who has 42 entries - 40 of them at Shaw Brothers
(thats in fact a strange thing: He disappeared completely after leaving (?) SB - This Lau Gong must be a Korean Actor! Probably the same with Leung Hung (2)!

Found another Korean poster (very nice artwork like many Korean posters) with English title Hurricane Sword (1971?) with all the same lead actors on it!
Both show different Chinese Titles - Question: Could it be they made two movies with the same cast? not very likely...

When a movie is produced in terms of co-production between several countries, there are different versions with different titles, sometimes with changes in cast and crew. Usually action directors appears as directors of one of the versions, because they do the final cut.

Added Chinese alias, English alias, new director, new action dir., prod. co., writer, and 1 actor.

I am sure you added "Quick Cut without Knife" (no capital letter in "without", no Chinese title, etc.)

I did not add Lau Gong nor Leung Hung (2), the movie must be revised to know if they appear.

1) I don't know how come I surly added it, but thus I felt free to delete "my" entry.... (no need to keep it)
2) This sounds more like a assistant-director ("Second unit") then to me...
3) I will remember that an unreliable entry is still worth to be kept until somebody proofs its wrong (Liu Gang who's picture is not the link cast-page)

Assist. directors or 2nd Unit directors have nothing to say in the final cut of a movie. But directors of 2nd or 3rd version can change the editing, the script, add new scenes, etc. Anyway credits say clearly Han Ying-Chieh was the director (they do not say "co-director" nor "assistant" nor "2nd unit" nor "planning director" nor "executive director").
