Killer Clans

SHAW BROTHERS - Based on a popular swordplan novel; this colorful and complex saga (whose Chinese title literally translates into the poetic Meteor; Butterfly Sword) has enough conspiracies strategems and sword fights to fascinate even novice kung fu cinema viewers. The cast of Shaw Brothers leading swordsmen and swordswomen are masterfully staged by Yuen Cheung-yan; the brother of Matrix and Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon martial arts choreographer Yuen Woo Ping. The result is both a great action movie and an exceptional dramatic film.
