- DirectorKing HuStarsFeng HsuChun ShihYing BaiA lady fugitive on the run from corrupt government officials is joined in her endeavors by an unambitious painter and skilled Buddhist monks.Wu xia pian masterpiece! Wonderful movie with interesting plot and beautiful landscapes. Hsu Feng is great. I especially like the way King Hu managed the scenes with shaolin Monks.
An absolutely Must see for Wu xia pian lovers!
8,5/10 for me. - DirectorJimmy Wang YuStarsJimmy Wang YuTien Wu ChuKang ChinAfter his students are killed by the One Armed Boxer, a vengeful and blind Kung Fu expert travels to a village where a martial arts contest is being held and vows to behead every one armed man he comes across.This movie is between Wu xia pian and Kung Fu genres. The opening is epic. Pretty good plot. Lots of fights a little bit slow but interesting characters and martial arts styles.
Once you see this movie i think it's impossible to forget it.
7/10 for me. - DirectorKing HuStarsPolly Ling-Feng Shang-KuanChun ShihYing BaiWhen the children of an executed General are pursued in 1457 China, some heroic martial arts swordsmen intervene.Even if it is a classic Wu xia pian i must say it is aging a bit but we can notice it defined most of codes of the Wuxia genre. I rate "Come Drink with me" slightly above this one personally and in my mind Dragon Inn 1992 is way more entertaining!
6,5/10 for me - DirectorCheh ChangStarsJimmy Wang YuChiao ChiaoChung-Hsin HuangA noble swordsman, whose arm had been chopped off, returns to his former teacher to defend him from a villainous gang of rival swordsmen.I don't understand dithyrambic reviews and notes about this movie. I'm not really a fan of Jimmy Wang Yu and even less of Chang Cheh. Too much scenes in studios, males with ridiculous eyebrows, bad choice of actors (except Tien Feng in this movie) and weak editing.
4/10 for me. - DirectorChung SunStarsSheng FuLung TiFeng KuChi Ming-sing is a former disciple of a gang run by overlord Yoh Xi-hung. Yoh's disciples hunt Chi relentlessly as he travels on a soul-searching journey. He comes to the aid of a seemingly bumbling man who hardly takes even life-threatening scenes seriously. The man Chi saved starts following him on the road, explaining that he's looking for someone who committed a grievous, unforgivable wrong. As the two travel on the road, it starts to become clear that Chi's companion is more than he seems: he's actually a very skilled martial artist, and his boots contain short blades that he can attach to his sleeves. Chi finally tells his companion his story: he's seeking out a renowned swordsman named Cheuk Yi-fan... not to kill him, but to die at his hand. Chi is haunted of the last job he did with the gang, slaughtering many of Cheuk's family and friends... and Chi himself slew Cheuk's pregnant wife. Chi's companion agrees to help Chi with his mission. But when the two arrive at Yoh's stronghold intent on killing him, Yoh recognizes Chi's companion as none other than Cheuk Yi-fan himself. Will Chi and Cheuk be able to remain together against Yoh's formidable fighting style, or will Yoh succeed at dividing and conquering his foes?This movie is a good entertainment if you have nothing to do. Good story, interesting costumes but the fights aren't exceptionnal.
I rate this movie just above the average.
6/10 for me. - DirectorWing-Cho YipStarsSzu ShihLi TungFeng KuThis sword-filled thriller centers on the title location-an inn where the down and dirty meet to plot nefarious doings.7/10
- DirectorSiu-Tung ChingStarsNorman ChuDamian LauFlora Chong-LeenThe best sword master from China vs the best sword master from Japan. Who will win?I really like this movie. The 2 main protagonists have done a great job. The story is pretty simple (the best japanese swordman vs the best chinese swordman in order to see what is the best country) but the fights are exciting and nervous, the main theme is great and the end is one of the best i've seen in this type of movie.
I strongly recommend it!
9/10 for me - DirectorCheh ChangStarsDavid ChiangChing LeeLung TiLei Li lost his right-arm in a sword duel with the master of a martial arts school, long ago. Now, he is able to defend himself well with just his left arm, and kung fu techniques. That he proves with just the help of his friend Chung-Chieng, when he crosses his path with a beautiful girl in need, Pao Chiao. Even against impossible odds, he will prove a great warrior.slightly better than the series of Wang Yu, this movie is nothing exceptional in my eyes, in any case nothing to deserve 7.3/10, but is still watchable for any wuxia fan.
6/10. - DirectorCheh ChangStarsJimmy Wang YuChiao ChiaoChia Essie LinAfter defeating The Long-Armed Devil and his armies, our nubbed hero has been living in retirement as a farmer, but circumstances causes him to come out of retirement and take on The Eight Kings, each warrior with their own unique fighting style. The time has come for the one armed swordsman to return.Mediocre!
5/10 - DirectorKing HuStarsLi Hua LiRoy ChiaoFeng HsuLee Khan, a high official under Mongolian Emperor Yuan of the Yuan dynasty (year 1366) procures the battle map of the Chinese rebel Chu Yuan-Chang's army. Rebel spies, aided by treachery within Khan's ranks, strive to corner him in an inn.Pretty similar to Dragon Inn (1967).
- DirectorMeng-Hua HoStarsPei-Pei ChengLieh LoSzu ShihMartial arts star Cheng Pei pei and versatile director Ho Meng hua were a great team, who elevated this tale of a virtuous swordswoman's revenge on the Black Demon who injured her to one of the best of both their careers.
- DirectorYuen ChorStarsLily HoHua YuehBetty Pei TiThe Four Seasons Brothel is run by a ruthless madam, Lady Chun Yi. Countless young girls have been kidnapped or bought and then sold into a life of servitude, prostitution, and torture at this brothel. Ai Nu, an honest, but poor family's only daughter, is one of the newest girls that was recently kidnapped and sold to Lady Chun. To complicate matters even more, Lady Chun is a lesbian and quickly falls in love with the virginal Ai Nu, who will not let her spirit be broken and tries to escape again and again. This causes Lady Chun to use all of her resources to break her, including auctioning off Ai Nu's virginity to a group of wealthy businessmen. She eventually entrusts Ai Nu with a number of ancient kung-fu secrets like the Ghost Hands, which allows you to thrust your fists into an opponent's chest. Soon after murder erupts within the brothel. A diligent detective, Chi Te, visits the brothel and becomes increasingly involved in the murder investigation. He realizes he must do everything he can to prevent Ai Nu from taking her much deserved revenge on everyone that has wronged her over the years.Beautiful wuxia with soul. The 2 main actress did a great job. The editing and pace are pretty good. Too bad most of scenes are shot in studio.
7,5/10 - DirectorChun-Ku LuStarsNorman ChuTony LiuJung WangHsu Shao-chiang stars as a veritable "Spider-Swordsman" - master of the "Silkworm Style" - in this eye-filling, mind-bending martial arts phantasmagorical which truly warrants the description: "unforgettable."
- DirectorChia TangStarsTung-Shing YeeJason Piao PaiPhillip KoShaolin Temple becomes suspect when several clan leaders are robbed and killed by the deadly Shaolin Palm technique.
- DirectorJohn WooStarsPai WeiDamian LauKong LauA son tries to avenge his father, and gets two sword fighters to help him.
- DirectorYuen ChorStarsLung TiLieh LoLi ChingDon't miss this one it is excellent. Chinese sword masters pair up to fight off yet another villain for the deadly PeacockDart. The ending is eye popping don't miss this one. Shaw Brothers come thru yet againThe kind of Wuxia i like! A little more wild than the usual Wuxia. I find Chor Yuen's work way more interesting than Chang Cheh, as i think he is more creative, subtil and simply more talented!
And he did a great job on this movie like he did with his "Ai nu" released in 1972. The story, the staging and the action scenes are well executed. The sword wielded by the hero embodied by Lung Ti is stunning and make a strong impression! Even for today's standards. - DirectorCheh ChangStarsDavid ChiangLung TiChing LeeYing Ke-Feng, head of Peerless Manor, is an expert swordsman whose escort business transports 200,000 taels of silver to the capital each year. This year, however, he is afflicted with an infirmity that renders him unable to use his sword. Rather than give up this important commission and let the martial world know of his precarious health he means to entrust the consignment to two young knights in his manor, Hsiang Ting and Yun Piao-Piao. As it happens, these two are also betrothed; clearly they have their swordsmanship in common. At Peerless Manor, everyone is suspicious of malevolent strangers who may be sniffing around the silver transport. So when Le I appears astride a high-quality charger but otherwise clearly down on his luck, Hsiang Ting thinks Le I may be a spy for the bad guys in the Flying Tiger Manor. It doesn't help that Le I and Yun Piao-Piao hit it off right away. Even or especially when Le I saves Yun Piao-Piao from a Flying Tiger thug, Hsiang is not assuaged. Yun Piao-Piao is torn, though it seems that a certain sisterly compassion finally wins the day when she arranges to reunite Le I with his horse. It's a cute horse, and Le I seems rather attached ... When the silver convoy passes by a pagoda that happens to house the Flying Tiger gang, Chiao Hung, the Flying Tiger chief, tries to steal the shipment. To win the day, Hsiang and Le must fight together, despite their mutual disaffection.6,5/10
- DirectorKing HuStarsFeng HsuYing BaiRoy ChiaoThe emperor dispatches an officer and a small band of men to deal with pirates.A little bit disappointed by this one. It's not bad but once you have seen the classic A touch of Zen, your expectations can only be high.
I find the characters and villains in general uninteresting despite the presence of Sammo Hung who embodies their leader.
Hsu Feng is not used much in this movie. You almost have the feeling she is mute.
This movie is still enjoyable for wuxias fan but nothing memorable according to me. - DirectorChia TangStarsLung TiTung-Shing YeeJason Piao PaiAs the names of Chang Cheh and Liu Chia-liang became legendary, all-too-often the name of their equally valued collaborator, Tang Chia, is omitted. That may be,because, unlike the previous pair, the veteran kung-fu choreographer only went on to direct three movies of his own. Of course, that makes this trio all the more special, and this first effort perhaps the most special of all. It may be an eye-filling, mind-bending martial arts tale of two royal princes battling for the rightful recovery of the throne, but it's also a party, where Tang invites two cinematographers, three editors, and no less than five other choreographer friends to almost literally shoot the works. The results are kung-fu configurations not only never seen before, but never even imagined!
- DirectorYuen ChorStarsIvy Ling PoHan ChinLieh Lo6 swordsmen, among them 2 sisters and their husbands, a lone ranger and a security guard, plot, betray and outwit each other for a load of gold.
- DirectorKing HuStarsPei-Pei ChengHua YuehChih-Ching YangBandits kidnap a governor's son and demand their imprisoned leader to be set free in exchange. The governor's daughter, a skilled martial artist, is sent to rescue him, but eventually finds herself overmatched and in need of assistance.Classic King Hu movie! I rate it slightly above his cult "Dragon Inn" released one year after this one. Cheng Pei Pei is great in that movie.
I recommend it if you're a fan of wuxias but you have to be aware it is from 1966.
7/10 for me. - DirectorChia-Liang LiuStarsChia-Liang LiuChia-Yung LiuKara WaiA band of killers from an ailing kung fu and magic society are sent on a manhunt for a former member of the society, whose bad mouthing threatens its existence.
- DirectorChih-Hung KueiStarsKuan Tai ChenFeng KuJason Piao PaiRighteous constable Leng Tian-Ying has a fearsome reputation of killing criminals without remorse. But after being assigned to track a gang that robbed the imperial treasury, he comes to find that his reputation is being used against him.
- DirectorCheh ChangStarsPhillip Chung-Fung KwokSheng ChiangLi WangWhen director Chang Chen found new talent and blood with "The Five Venoms" actors, most of which were trained in the highly acrobatic Chinese opera and well versed with exotic martial arts weapons, this crated a new spark for his use of bizarre weapons in his films.
- DirectorMeng-Hua HoStarsPei-Pei ChengChing TangChing-Yun HuangA fearsome swordswoman known as The Jade Raksha appears in the martial arts world and begins killing people whose surname is Yan.
- DirectorTeng-Hung HsuStarsJimmy Wang YuPing ChinMargaret Hsing HuiThe adventures of a young married sword fighting couple, Lianzhu and Gui Wu, and the sword fighting members of their different clans.
- DirectorYuen ChorStarsFei AiShen ChanPing ChenTwo clans compete for dominance over the martial arts world in this classic of violent swordplay and political intrigue. A complex tale of deception and double crosses. Killer Clans leaves viewers guessing every step of the way. Masterful fight choreography from Yuen Cheung Yan (Yuen Clan member and brother of Yuen Woo Ping) and Tong Gaai fills the screen with bloody sword fighting and imaginative weaponry, delivering both great drama and fantastic martial arts.Deserve its rating (6,8).

Maybe it's just me but i was surprised by the resemblance of Helen Ma, the main actress, to Michelle Yeoh.
The action and fights at the end are a little bit wtf in terms of realism.
6/10 for me. - DirectorCheh ChangStarsPei-Pei ChengJimmy Wang YuLieh LoThe indomitable martial arts team of director Chang Cheh and stunt choreographer Liu Chia-liang continues the compelling saga of Golden Swallow from King Hu's Come Drink with Me in this sequel of heartbreaking romance, jianghu intrigue and stunning action.I didn't feel like i was losing time. It could have been better for a few details but it was still entertaining.
6,5/10 for me. - DirectorYuen ChorStarsTung-Shing YeeOn-On YuPing ChenThe Third Master (Erh Tung Sheng, aka Derek Yee, in the role that launched his career) is considered to be the greatest sword master of the day.

6/10 for me - DirectorCheh ChangStarsSheng FuPhillip Chung-Fung KwokMeng LoLIFE GAMBLE is the tale of a simple blacksmith (Kuo Chue) with extraordinary martial-arts skills who is entangled in a life-and-death struggle among swordsmen, thieves, con artists, a smooth dagger-slinger (Fu Sheng), a beautiful seductress (Lin Chen-chi) who can kill with her smile, a servant with a deadly whip, an assassin with a golden hairpin, an iron-fisted villain on a murderous rampage, a ruthless gambler with seemingly unlimited funds, and so many more.

Vengeance movie with dark tone. One of these movies where you are more scared for the vilains than for the hero.
6,5/10 for me - DirectorCheh ChangStarsJimmy Wang YuChiao ChiaoHsiang Chun LiYu is a two-armed swordsman who is betrayed by a jealous rival, but initially seeks a life of simple pleasures until an accidental meeting with another patriot sets him back on the road to bloody, brutal vengeance.
- DirectorCheh ChangStarsPhillip Chung-Fung KwokHsueh-Erh WenTien-Hsiang LungYuan finishes his training in the mountains and his master gives him an assignment.

After recovering, the sightless defender sets out to recover the weapon, and seek revenge against his murderous nemesis.Overpowered sword. Not even funny! Watchable but nothing great in this movie. I liked the music used in this one though.
6/10 for me - DirectorCheh ChangStarsSiu-Ho ChinSheng ChiangLinda ChuChin Siu Ho plays a young man who believes himself to be an orphan. Until one rainy night when he and three different men find themselves taking shelter from the storm in the same place.

Another important character in the movie is the mysterious Black Dragon (Nan Chang) the only other character around who swordplay is one a par with Tien Ping's character. Polly Kuan's character, Swallow, befriends...
- DirectorCheh ChangStarsDavid ChiangHan ChinLung TiThe "iron triangle" of director Chang Cheh and protégés David Chiang and Ti Lung make The Heroic Ones a quintessential action epic, set during the waning years of the Tang Dynasty and centering on a royal family rife with intrigue.5,5/10
- DirectorCheh ChangHsueh-Li PaoWu MaStarsDavid ChiangLung TiKuan Tai ChenTells the story of the 108 Heroes who stood up against a corrupt government. Each hero has his own unique fighting skill, but they are all willing to die to uphold justice.As i'm not really a fan of historical type wuxias, i found this movie boring. Yes it seems this movie had a big budget and there are lot of actors in it but too much to actually have time to to know them and to really get into the story.
For the same reasons, there is zero emotion during the few fight scenes.
5,5/10 - DirectorCheh ChangStarsDavid ChiangLung TiFeng KuA prince of the Sung Dynasty has been taken prisoner by Ching invaders and is being held in an impenetrable fortress by elite men of the Ching. A group of fighters loyal to the Sung set out on a treacherous journey to the fortress in order to free the prince.

- DirectorCheh ChangStarsDavid ChiangLily LiPei-Shan ChangDavid Chiang plays almost identic young , smiling, almost invincible character he played in "Have Sword will Travel".
I've found this one a little boring here and there and the actors in general aren't great.
In the version i've watched the music is pretty disturbing as we can often hear 2 music tracks play together but with no harmony and it is very unpleasant.
The sword fights are pretty good tough.
6/10 for me - DirectorYuen ChorStarsLung TiYun LingTony LiuOnce again we follow the ultimate playboy sword master, Chu Liu Hsiang, and his faithful friend, Yi Tien Hung, on another amazing adventure in Southeastern China.

6,5/10 for me - DirectorMeng-Hua HoStarsChing LeeHsiung ChaoChih-Ching YangThis movie sees Officer of the law Wan Chao-fan and his father being framed for a robbery they didn't commit. With only his father's sword at the scene and the man nowhere to be found, retribution is aimed at Chao-fan, who flees in order to figure out who really stole the jewels so that he may get revenge and clear the Wan family name.
- DirectorCheh ChangKang ChengFeng YuehStarsShao-Hung ChanChing Po ChangHsi Chang3 martial arts directors united for this unique anthology film. Yueh Feng writes and directs a clever love-and-kung-fu triangle, Cheng Kang both writes and directs kung-fu courtesans battling brigands, and the ""godfather of the kung-fu film,"" Chang Cheh, creates a cliff-hanging, swashbuckling mini-movie with maxi-action.

- DirectorCheh ChangWu MaStarsDavid ChiangMichael Wai-Man ChanYang ChangBased on one of China's enduring epic novels, written in the 14th century, "All Men Are Brothers" continues the patriotic story of righteous warriors battling despotic leaders, featuring mythic characters familiar to every Chinese, and with a cast that has achieved an equally celebrated status among Shaw Brothers devotees: Ti Lung, David Chiang, Chen Kuan-tai and Danny Lee.The Sequel of 1972 The Water Margin. I found this one as boring as the 1st movie as i'm not a fan of historical wuxias. Too much protagonists. No one really stands out. The fights are average and tasteless.
5,5/10 - DirectorWei LoStarsPei-Pei ChengHua YuehLi-Jen HoThis top ten hit reunites Come Drink With Me's stars for a new adventure.

- DirectorKeith LiStarsTung-Shing YeeJason Piao PaiTien-Lang Li"99 have fallen, 1 remains." The Supreme Swordsman is a late, but celebrated entry into the long list of awesome Shaw Brothers swordplay epics. In feudal China, an extremely conceited swordsman named Qin Wu Xin slices his way through 99 of the best swordsman China has to offer so that he can add their famous blades to his infamous 100 Swords Mansion. Now, with only one sword left to claim, Qin Wu Xin sets his sights on the mighty Xuan Yuan Sword of the legendary Supreme Swordsman. Ironically, he is effortlessly defeated by the Supreme Swordsman due to his own inferior blade and vows to return with a worthy weapon. After questioning his master and a few locals he discovers a sword that could bring him the victory he is so obsessed with having. It is the one and only Cold Eagle Sword, belonging to the secretive Black Magic Clan, which Qin Wu Xin happens to be a member of.

- DirectorChung SunStarsPei-Pei ShuDan LauChia Chien LiThe Jiuxian Witch and her Bloody Ghouls Clan are planning domination of the Martial Arts world. Standing in their way are two clans who posses a magic mirror each.This movie is clean! Good editing, beautiful costumes, pretty good story. There are some pretty good action sequences for the year 1972. However i feel like the actors lack a little bit of charisma in this one so i think this movie could have been better.
Anyway it is enjoyable if you like wuxias.
6,5/10 - DirectorChang-hwa JeongStarsChiao ChiaoLiang ChenHsieh WangThis tale is about a decapitating swordswoman who will let nothing stand in her way when she falls in love with a bandit's son.
