The legendary Chang Cheh made more than 70 films between 1960 and 1975, but this is considered one of the most notable. A nominal sequel to the equally acclaimed Shaolin Martial Arts, this powerful production cemented Alexander Fu Sheng's superstardom. It is also one of the last Chang films choreographed by the mighty Liu Chia-liang. Together, they make this tale of the Shaolin vs. Manchu conflict one of the highlights in kung-fu film history.
