The Best Movie Fight Scenes

Here is what Mark Pollard at Kungfucinema has to say about this film:

"All of the plentiful weapons combat in the film that leads up to the finale is excellent. David Chiang convincingly wields a spear, three-section staff and twin butterfly knives against his adversaries. His last bout with Norman Siu is the most memorable. Part of Norman’s deadly sword technique is to frequently perform rolls on the ground. Chiang comes up with a clever method of turning this maneuver against him. Leading lady Wong Hang-sau is not just a pretty face. She also performs some energetic kung fu sparring of her own and certainly offers up the film’s most colorful character.

The final match between Chiang and Lau’s brother Kar-wing is outstanding. Apart from Kar-wing’s pipe, it’s open hand all the way. The gist is that Kar-wing’s Shadowy Fist technique is used to ensnare or trap its victim in locking attacks. Chiang’s Mantis style, with its own locking moves and counters is the perfect foil. The engagement becomes a physical chess match of sorts with equally-equipped opponents trying to outmaneuver each other. Although most of the moves are with the arms, crucial legwork isn’t left out either. The only thing that’s missing is outrageous acrobatics and leaping, but that’s not what this type of hardcore kung fu action is about. This is Lau Kar-leung, the action director at his very best and kung fu buffs should definitely take note. The gruesome finishing move, seen only by the characters’ shadows on the wall is priceless.

I feel compelled to add that this is arguably David Chiang's best performance in his entire career. He is not as skilled as Gordon Liu, has no physical presence like Leung Kar Yan, but still he can be pretty good when directed by someone like Liu Chia Liang.
