DeadMediaArchive- thanks for the review!

Director Chang Cheh's starmaking continues, annointing Chen Kuan Tai, part of a lineage that ran through Wang Yu. David Chiang and Ti Lung (and let's not forget Wang Chung). His co-director and frequent collaborator as such at the time, Pao Hsueh Li, helmed the brilliant Finger of Doom solo this same year. If all of that is not enough - it goes without saying this is an epic classic of Hong Kong cinema - a young assistant director who frequently worked under director Chang Cheh was also present here. None other than John Woo.
