Ambitious And Fun Wu Xia Classic!!

While it may come across as a run-of-the-mill, early 70's Taiwanese wu xia flick, The 8 Dragon Sword is actually a very fun, action packed adventure which is overly-ambitious in its inventive wire-fu and choreography!

Starring veteran kung fu actor and Shaw Brothers star, Chen Hung Lieh, the film may look slightly dated today, but boasts a wide range of crazy weapons, interesting characters and fight scenes that hit the mark.

Nicely shot, with clean camerawork and great locations, The 8 Dragon Sword has a lengthy end battle that is pretty exciting and well executed. I wouldn't mind seeing a nicely cleaned up version of this on DVD...

Overall: Old school but inventive making it stand out a bit from other wu xia films of this period!
