Nu du bei dao

It's not rare that reviewers on the web tend to confuse every Wuxiapian (Swordsplay movie) they see as a Shaw Brother film. It would be enough to see the lack of Shaw's logo to avoid this common error. Actually this one is a low-budget but not boring imitation of Shaw's trilogy about the One-Armed swordsman, with an handicapped woman instead of Wang Yu or David Chiang. She's played by beauty Chang Ching Ching, a Taiwanese actress who made a good 72 movies (including Wang Yu's vehicle The Screaming Tiger) and then dismissed in 1973, just in the year martial arts craze stroke the world. The movie has rythm enough even if the poor tech-values and bad prints circulating here make it a not-unforgettable experience, nonetheless the girl is really something. Released in Hong Kong 4/27/72, music by Wang Fu Ling (The Big Boss composer) and produced by Park Film owned by female director-actress Kao Pao Shu (The desperate chase, The cannibals and others).
