Member xianzai Posted October 7, 2010 Member Share Posted October 7, 2010 http://hkmdb.com/db/movies/view.mhtml?id=5247&display_set=eng Above average swordplay film for the time (1971). Korean director, but what I'd call a Japanese feel to the fights and much of the movie (YMMV). Worth grabbing if still available. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member shaolin drunkard Posted September 11, 2011 Member Share Posted September 11, 2011 Absolutely terrific movie.Sadly many movies this quality go unnoticed at forums because its not directed by LKL or CC or most popular Shaw actors... Lo Lieh is his cool himself but with his looks he is more suited to villain than here:wink: It`s still available at dddhouse at least and I would recommend any1 wu xia lover pick this up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member jmungus Posted September 11, 2011 Member Share Posted September 11, 2011 swift knight is GREAT hands down. in my book, its a strong competitor in the major league of swashbucklers. for everyone who digs that era and subgenre, its a must have. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Eastern Evil Posted April 25, 2014 Member Share Posted April 25, 2014 I love Lo Lieh and this is a GREAT movie. However, for the 1st time for me, I noticed some blurry scenes. Maybe the film source was messed up because it is really noticeable. It doesn't bother me though, I think all the remasters are better than any full screen VHS from back when, although I like the nostalgic look of them also. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member NoKUNGFUforYU Posted April 25, 2014 Member Share Posted April 25, 2014 Thoroughly enjoyed this movie! Lo Lieh nailed it as the anti hero who comes through in the end. Lots of great action and some suspense. As someone else said, it is a great swashbuckler! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Iron_Leopard Posted July 3, 2021 Member Share Posted July 3, 2021 Just watched it. Loved it. I was thinking the whole time this had to be a big influence on Iron Monkey (1993). So many similarities. Even a girl playing a boy trope. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
