Chinese vs. Japanese martial arts at its best.
I really enjoyed this Dragon Dynasty release with its nice special features. Bey Logan has a segment where he gives a nice context of the film and where it stood in history at the time.
As for the action, it was great. The story was also a plus, it kept me interested and it provided a reason for the martial art demonstrations.
You can read the synopsis from Dragon and watch the trailer to get a better feel for what its about.
I recommend this film as one of the better Shaw Bros. (SB) films I've seen. There are hundreds of SB films, and amoung them, 100s of action/kung fu/martial arts one. Not wasting your time on the crappy ones is an art form.
