Trilogy of Swordsmanship

1972 · 108 min

A trio of vintage martial-arts tales, each with its own flavour, offering swift swordplay and old-fashioned melodrama in equal measure.

Genres
Action, Drama
Overview
Three martial arts directors united for this unique anthology film. Yueh Feng writes and directs a clever love-and-kung-fu triangle, Cheng Kang both writes and directs kung-fu courtesans battling brigands, and the "godfather of the kung-fu film," Chang Cheh, creates a cliff-hanging, swashbuckling mini-movie with maxi-action.
