এই চলচ্চিত্ৰখনৰ বিষয়ে

What started as masterful kung-fu filmmaker Liu Chia-liang’s homage to the heroic Sung Dynasty Yang family became an angry, even savage, rumination on heroic sacrifice when international idol Alexander Fu Sheng died in a car accident midway through production. Fu’s death was not only tragic because he was such a close friend, but because the role he was playing was one of only two survivors of an ignominious betrayal by a jealous General. Knowing that he had to immortalize Fu’s final, unfinished performance, Liu carried on, having co-star Hui Ying-hung step into the action. The finished film is unique in the director’s extraordinary filmography for the intensity and power of its emotions and kung-fu. There are heartbreaking references to the tragedy throughout, but the climax is truly unforgettable as the other family survivor, now a Shaolin-trained warrior faces his betrayers amid a pyramid of coffins. What he, and his Shaolin masters, do then has to be seen to be believed…

I couldn't watch more than a minute or so.... I watch so many Asian dramas with subtitles. If it is put as an option for Chinese audio with English sub's, I would change my rating.

Really enjoyed this movie. Glad the produces followed through and completed the movie. This was the first time that I saw Alexander Fu Sheng in action. Due to this movie it has re inspired me to watch Kung-Fu movies.

The story is gripping and those fight scenes r just gritty, top 5 without a doubt
