A group of bandits hiding out in a temple kidnap the son of a governor. To get him back they must exchange an ally of theirs they have imprisoned. The govenor's daughter, Golden Swallow, seeks the bandits out. She meets a drunk who also happens to be a kung fu master. He helps her along her journey. The bandits' leader happens to be the drunk's brother. Golden Swallow must get her brother back while the drunk must avenge the death of his master, who was killed by his brother.
This is considered to be one of the best Hong Kong movies ever, and with reason. This movie is a kung fu masterpiece. Cheng Pei-pei (Crouching Tiger, Hidden Drago) is great in general, and is awesome in this. In a lot of ways this movie is like Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, but lacked the special effects. There's a scene where the drunk and Cheng Pei-pei leap from rooftops, but instead of seeing them float like in Crouching Tiger, it's all jump cuts. Not that it's a bad thing, it's just an example.
This film is superbly made. The DVD has a beautiful digital transfer that makes it look like it was made last year and not in 1966. The story is good and it doesn't get bogged down by too many characters and too much plot to keep track of like a lot of kung fu films I've seen. This is a true masterpiece and required viewing for kung fu film fans and probably for film fans in general.

10/10
