Last Hurrah for Chivalry Reviews
I hate using this cliche: Buy it today!
I'm not a hardcore martial arts fan. But this DVD quickly became my favourite guilty pleasure. The dubbing is C grade even by 1970's era Hong Kong standards. The sound crackles like my old short-wave radio during an intense burst of northern lights, the 'music' will soon have ya pressing the mute button. That said, the final two fights blew me away. The fun starts with the appearence of 'sleeping sword'. From there until the end, the action left me slack-jawed. This film was the main claim to fame for the two leads. I tracked down most of their other flicks, but these latter works fade to a pale pink in comparison.
A classic!
John Woo has a unique style, which you can check in this 1979 film, long time before Face/Off or MI2. The film has an excellent plot, with classical honor conflicts and friendship, and lots of action, with scenes that make Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon look older...
The DVD edition has good picture quality and the sound is excellent, with Dolby Digital (rare for a 20 years old film!).
If you like HK cinema, this is a must for your collection.
