an action packed story of revenge against the ruling Ching Dynasty. there's barely any character development, but it's incredibly well shot and decently choreographed.
the martial arts themselves are suspect, many looking operatic, but overall, this is worth a look.

I watched the final one-on-one for this movie. It's short, but the choreography actually quite good. It's probably some of the best choreography for a Mainland film, but I think it falls just a little behind Tsui Siu-Ming's Holy Robe of Shaolin and, of course, Lau Kar-Leung's Martial Arts of Shaolin. But Brandy Yuen, brother of Woo-Ping, did a good job.
