A fun low budget wuxia
Reviewed by Simon on 2022-01-22
This Taiwanese cheapy popped up on YouTube, cropped but in the original Mandarin at least.
The story is your typical sort of BRAVE ARCHER or HEAVEN SWORD & DRAGON SABRE business, evil cult searching for a secret manual of ultimate kung fu technique, a young girl chosen by fate to learn the technique and teach the bad guys a lesson.
It's hard to call it a good film but it is entertainingly daft, like a prototype for a Chu Yuan wuxia. Joseph Kuo might have been working with small budgets in Taiwan, but he was never short of imagination.
