Sun Chung, Ti Lung and Fu Sheng are back in another wuxia adventure after their highly successful collaboration in “Avenging Eagle” just a year ago, this time written by the prolific novelist and screenwriter Ni Kuang. The Chinese title, loosely translated as “Romantic Broken Sword, Little Dagger” actually refers to both the lead characters and their signature weapons.

Proud, arrogant Tuan Chang Qing (Ti Lung) is a legendary swordsman who kills his opponents with a special sword technique as well as provides coffins for them before their duels. He purposely breaks the tip of his sword, about an inch, and buries it in their bodies like souvenirs and by killing them that way, he has earned the nickname “Deadly Broken Sword”. The movie opens with Tuan and Lian San (Michael Chan Wai Man) in a ferocious duel in which Lian,...

One of the great thrills of old school kung fu flicks is the juxtaposition between the dance-like choreography and bone-crunching violence. Bright splashes of blood are made more shocking by the balletic quality of the fights themselves. This is the contradiction at the core of almost all classic martial arts films; the spirituality inherent in Shaolin Kung Fu coexists with its potential to cause serious bodily harm. Many of the best releases of the 70s and 80s golden age understood how to blend Zen-like philosophy with animalistic anger, and revenge storylines allowed for especially potent drama. Here are five of the most down-and-dirty payback plots from the heyday of Hong Kong action.
5. The Duel
Chang Cheh's Ti Lung and David Chiang team-up from the year before, “Vengeance,” might be the obvious choice, but “The Duel” is an underrated slice of Triad grittiness. Lung and Chiang are two of the coolest...

The Weinstein Company and Celestial Pictures are teaming to produce English-language remakes of two classic Shaw Brothers martial arts titles.
Both are being penned by John Fusco and produced by Harvey Weinstein and David Thwaites.
The first, based on Sun Chung's 1978 effort "The Avenging Eagle," follows a cabal master who raises orphans to be his own personal thugs in an outlaw band. One of the orphans strikes out on his own and joins up with a mysterious warrior, while the rest of the group seek out to kill the orphan for rebelling.
The second film is based on King Hu's 1966 film "Come Drink With Me" and follows a band of thugs who kidnap a young official as hostage to exchange for their captured leader.
The prisoner’s highly skilled martial artist sister is sent to free him and seeks help from a beggar and Kung-Fu master to get her brother back.

Back in 2007, before Inglourious Basterds took him to the Western Front, Quentin Tarantino was linked with a remake of King Hu's Come Drink With Me. Nothing came of it but the project, born of the Weinstein Company's partnership with Hong Kong’s Celestial Pictures, refused to go away. Now comes news that the 1966 wuxia classic will be returning in a new guise, along with Sun Chung's 1978 The Avenging Eagle, as Harvey's crew set to work on English-language versions of the two films.The trailers, which can watch here (Drink) and here (Eagle), tells you everything you need to know about these great martial arts flicks. Their M.O. was to find the most action-packed period of Chinese history and fill it with combat, kung-fu treachery and really, really long beards. Hu, in particular, has been a defining influence on the modern wuxia, offering an inspiration for Ang Lee's Crouching Tiger,...

In a move that is sure to further antogonise the martial arts fanboys, Film Business Asia has reported that The Weinstein Company is teaming up with Celestial Pictures to remake Shaw Brothers classics Come Drink With Me and The Avenging Eagle. Harvey Weinstein will co-produce the films with David Thwaites, based on scripts by John Fusco, all three of whom are currently working together on the Yuen Woo Ping-directed Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon II: Green Destiny. This suggests that the new versions of the King Hu and Sun Chung classics will be straight remakes (rather than reworking the stories in a modern setting, for example), but as yet there seems to be no confirmation of exactly what TWC and Celestial have in mind.Harvey Weinstein has angered...

Hong Kong -- Two months after unveiling the sequel to Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, Harvey Weinstein has entered into martial arts film territory again by announcing plans to remake two legendary Shaw Brothers Studio classics from the 1970s. In a statement released to The Hollywood Reporter on Wednesday, Hong Kong’s Celestial Pictures -- which owns the Shaw Brothers' library -- announced a collaboration with The Weinstein Co. to produce English-language versions of King Hu's 1966 film Come Drink With Me and Sun Chung's The Avenging Eagle from 1978. The companies aim to produce the two films back to back and are targeting

Judgement of an Assassin
Written by Ni Kuang
Directed by Sun Chung
Hong Kong, 1977
Vengeance, lust for power, bruised egos, noble desire to remain true to one’s better judgement, none of these carry any meaning in when people are the subject of a trial. In the court of law, justice is blind, or should be, and as such anyone who circumvented it will receive due punishment. There are, however, many creative ways to corrupt the courts themselves, thus rendering attempts at shedding light on the all important truth moot. That is when vengeance and lust for power truly carry their weight against all odds. Sun Chung directs a large scale cast of performers in Judgement of an Assassin, a rather epic legal drama and martial arts hybrid where the fighting, both verbal and physical, happens inside and outside the courts.
When they least expect it, the Golden Axe clan,...

Human Lanterns
Directed by Sun Chung
Written by Kuang Ni and Sun Chung
Hong Kong, 1982
There is an exciting element of risk whenever creative minds willfully choose to go against the grain. Directors, writers and actors, when feeling adventurous, can attempt to defy the expectations by involving themselves in a picture that few would have expected them to ever partake in. Occasionally an entire studio may see fit to shake things up a bit in order to give audiences a fresh outlook on their image. Shaw Brothers certainly was not entirely limited to creating strictly martial arts and wuxia adventure films set in historical Chinese periods. There are a few examples of more drama and horror-centric efforts, but genre blending as exercised by director Sung Chung in his 1982 film, Human Lanterns, was certainly uncommon from the famed studio.
Lung Shu Ai (Liu Yung) and Tan Fu (Chen Kuan Tai) are long standing rivals.
