Description
The place: Shanghai. The time: 1921. The Japanese aggression towards China is getting stronger each day. Enter Hsueh Ao-Lin (Chen Kuan Tai), an agent of the government sent to uncover the Chinese traitors helping the enemy. Once inside, Hsueh must fight both the Japanese and his countrymen for his sake, and the future of China. Shaw Brothers superstar Chen Kuan Tai plays a classic heroic role, much like his previous films Bandit from Shantung and Man of Iron. The blood-soaked climax is among his best. Definitely in the Shaw tradition!

Customer Reviews:
A genre classic!.......2003-09-14
This is the perfect film for those of us who love the classic Shaw Bros. films of the 1970's.Films like Vengeance and Man of Iron.
Shaw star Chen Kuan Tai is in fine form,using his Monkey Fist expertise to great use.
Production value is top notch.Only drawback is a sagging story line.But the action more than makes up for it.
The DVD is hosted by Shaw Star Philip Ko Fei,who gives a great interview and demonstration.
The highlight extra is a documentary on the Shaw Studio,hosted by David Chiang.
A great film in a great package!
