The Thundering Sword

The man the seminal Study Of The Swordplay Film declared "one of the key figures in the new style wu xia pian initiated by the Shaw Brothers" returns with another amazing epic of the "Martial Arts World." There's a touch of Romeo And Juliet here, as a student of the Grand Master falls for the daughter of the Poison Master, played by swordswoman superstar Cheng Pei-pei. She is as engaging and attractive here as she was powerful and evil years later in Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon.
