Early Chang Cheh and also one of his bests. The action is bit slow compared to later films but is very well handled. Excellent performance from the magnificent trio Fu Sheng, Chen Kuan Tai and Chi Kuan-Chun. All 3 are so good looking and charismatic it's a always a pleasure to watch them fight.

Chang Cheh uses red or monochrome camera filtering to emphasis on the tragic moments, mostly the death of a hero. He uses the same technique again in his later films.

Worth mentioning is Fu Sheng's death which is particularly nasty. Which reminds me of another (possibly) Chang Cheh film in which Ti Lung is cut in half!! Cheh sure knows how to deal out terrible deaths to his heroes.
