This top ten box office hit reunites the star duo from “Come Drink With Me” in another classic tale of action and intrigue. Cheng Pei-Pei (a quarter-century before gaining Hollywood fame as the villainess of “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon”) radiates grace and beauty while wielding the deadly “shadow whip.” The weapon is almost as major a character as Cheng, implicated as it is in multiple murders, a major heist, and an enigmatic mystery that sets in motion a pursuit by both good and evil knights. Cheng finds herself in the eye of the storm, and whether single-handedly fighting sixteen bandits or avenging her father’s brutal end, she demonstrates why she was Hong Kong cinema’s number one swordswoman - and no slouch when it came to the whip!
