A fun low budget wuxia

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.
