One of the most well-regarded choreographers of the day, Chia Tang has never caught on the way contemporaries Chang Cheh, Yuen Woo-ping or Liu Chia-liang have become luminaries in the style. Still, judging by this first directorial offering, he had enough to offer that should’ve kept his name in the genres’ upper echelon with this strong and highly enjoyable late-era Shaw Brothers effort.
After being separated at birth, twin brothers Zi-tai and Dao Xing are forced to learn different forms of martial arts based on their disparate status in the world. With Zi-tai training with Emperor Gu and Dao Xing living with the Buddhist monks Wu Ming Wu Chu and Wu Li (Tau Wan Yue) in the countryside, they are unaware of each others’ true identity as the evil 9th Lord seeks them out to kill the two in order to keep his secret rule intact.
