Այս ֆիլմի մասին

Tang Chia is considered one of the greatest Kung fu choreographers ever, but he only directed three movies of his own. The first two were weird and wonderful Kung fu phantasmagoricals, but this, his last, is not only his greatest, but one of the greatest ever. Ti Lung, in one of his finest performances, plays Tieh Chiao-san, head of the Ten Kwangtung Tigers, who falls victim to opium, the title drug which crippled China. The tragedies and drama that ensue are as stunning as the Kung fu, created by a superlative team of six martial artists. It leads to a truly unforgettable climax, as a trembling Tieh, still weak from going cold turkey, must face the gangsters who have ruined his town while he was addicted. A legitimate masterpiece and one of the finest, most effecting martial arts movies Shaw Brothers ever produced.

Tang Chia directs and makes an appearance as well! We get to see Chen Kuan Tai (Executioners of Shaolin) vs Ti Lung as well as the prescience of Phillip Kai Fei! Excellent movie with a message.

I cant believe so FEW people have watched this or commented on it! This may be "obscure", but it is a classic of the genre and any kung fu movie fan should consider this required viewing!! One of the greats!

I watched Kung Fu Instructor and this film is so good too.
