Film-director Ting Shan Si was one of the finest filmmakers in Taiwan: he made the expensive War Movie 800 HUNDRED HEROES (sent by Taiwan to the Oscar as Best Foreign Film, but rejected by the Academy), and he was a favorite of superstar Jimmy Wang Yu: together, they made several movies includings SHOWDOWN, CHOW-KEN, FURIOUS SLAUGHTER, THE FAST FISTS and others. Ting Shan Si's Wushapians were usually better than his Gongfupians, but his War-movies were better than his Wusha. This is a barely adequate movie with vet Villain Tien Yeh (THE ONE-ARMED BOXER) and Martial Arts scenes staged by Yu Tian Lung (later a star on his own in movies like THE BAMBOO BROTHERHOOD), who also plays a role. Real-life father-and-son Ko Hsiang Ting and Ko Shiao Po are also in the supporting cast, alongwith Lei Chun and stuntmen Shan Mao and Chang Yi Kwai(all three seen in the above-mentioned THE ONE-ARMED BOXER).
