Come Drink with Me

1966 • 90 minutes

À propos de ce film

Long before Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon wowed the western world, Come Drink With Me set an entirely new standard for martial arts movies in the Far East. Director King Hu not only broke new ground but set the groundwork for all the action films that followed, including Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. Come Drink With Me tells the story of a mysterious swordswoman nicknamed "Golden Swallow", and the even more mysterious swordsman, "Beggar". They join forces to free a kidnapped official from a Buddhist monastery run by a corrupt abbot with incredible kung-fu powers. But the real attention-getters are the ingeniously staged action scenes and a cast of characters that looks as cool today as when the film burst upon the cinema scene in 1966.

Notes et avis

Not one of the best Shaw Brothers films, sloppy editing and bad special effects. The fight scenes were incredibly slow, most Wuxia films with male and female fighters are intense like they really trying to do some harm. Not this one. I have been watching Shaw Brothers films since the 1980's, this is by far one of the worst films in their collection. Such a disappointment since I have been wanting to see this film for a long time.

I saw reviews that this movie wasn't good or other comments there are flaws in it It's from 1966 here are 2 movies that will make you say this is a great movie 1- JACKIE CHAN KUNG FU MASTER HE HAS NO FIGHT'S ITS ABOUT A KID WHO WANTS HIM TO TEACH HIM BUT YOU ONLY SEE CHAN NO LIE IF 5 MINUTES OF THE WHOLE MOVIE THAT'S A LOT THEN CYNTHIA ROTHROCK BADASS SHOWDOWN SHE ALSO HAS NO FIGHT SCENES AT ALL SHE'S A TRAINER FOR MMA FIGHTERS BOTH TOGETHER ARE STILL 100'XS WORSE THAN THIS MOVIE COULD EVER BE don't waste $

I am personally not a big fan of this film it's sequel golden swallow is far better.
