The Wolf Head Gang criminals are sinners who see themselves as saints because they don't murder or rape and only rob folks of half their money. The new chief wants a new image and wants more money. He makes a new rule - no rules. Our hero, Chen Kuan-Tai, wants to stick with the ways of the old chief.
Chen Kuan-Tai is one of my favorite actors from the golden age of martial arts movies. He is also one of the original "real deals" meaning he was a martial arts expert before acting. His martial art in this movie is far from his finest moment. Out of respect I will limit my criticism by only pointing out the obvious lack of effort and power.
The storyline also flops for me. The premise seems to be a realistic look at crime but the scenes and character actions are not realistic. Some credit must be given for the attempt at doing something different with the genre in 1975.
In reply to ChungMo's review: Chang Cheh directed this movie at the start but left to direct another movie in Taiwan. The rest (most) of the movie and final edit credit goes to Sun Chung.
