This movie is awesome!
don't let the old year scare you away! This movie truly has it all, nice scenery and exciting fights.
Shaw Brothers did have a nose for great martial arts flicks and this one is one of them (one of the better they have released I would say)
the film centers around man named Liu that marries a Japanese girl. They early in their marriage argue about which martial arts styles that are the best; Chinese or Japanese. He of course speaks for the Chinese arts and she for the Japanese. He insults here that hard that she leaves him and goes back to China. In an attempt to win her back he writes a letter and sends off to her, but are misunderstood and so he insults HER family so they seeks him up to have a duel.
Now here is where this film becomes really interesting; Every Japanese that he fights has different styles and weapons so this movie really shows off various styles in Martial Arts.
And it shows it off well. the actors really knows their stuff; they all move and fight AMASING!
don't hesitate to wait, rent/buy it know!
I shall also add: IVL (Intercontinental Video Limited) has re-released this film on DVD with re-mastered video and sound quality! and it truly looks good! so I recommend looking this version up.
9/10
