The Swordsman of All Swordsmen
Swordsman supreme Tsai Ying-jie rolls into town with a mission: to track down the bandits that killed his father and stole a legendary sword some 18 years ago. Soon he's trouncing hooligans and saving damsels in distress. Through a chance encounter, Cai becomes entangled with mysterious swordsman Black Dragon and the woman warrior Flying Swallow. Will they help him exact revenge or stand in his way? After directing several melodramas, Joseph Kuo jumped on the wuxia bandwagon with this exciting tale of chivalry and subterfuge. A box office hit, it kicked off Kuo’s lengthy string of triumphant martial arts hits.
