Kurt Halfyard’s review:
One Woman. Two Swords. 400 Bandits and a Drunken Trickster. I adore this film.
(My only beef with this film is that the screenplay kind of takes the film away from the heroine in the final act, and instead has two Shaolin monks fight out a grudge for the climax)
I still haven't seen this - the UK aren't great for getting Shaw Brothers titles. I have seen A Touch of Zen though and loved it. Is this more straightforward or does it still have surreal moments? The length of Zen always puts me off rewatching it, but I really should.
