The Silver Fox is about one kung fu brother's betrayal of another and then the vengeance promised by the victim's daughter (the Silver Fox) 18 years later. The Silver Fox is played adequately by Chang Yi and her fight scenes are good, but not quite on par with Cheng Pei Pei or Hui Ying Hung's a few years later. There's a little bit of romance and little bit of sibling rivalry and the plot rolls along to its inevitable confrontation between both generations. But in the last 15 minutes things perk up with a pretty cool "cave of traps" and a sequence where confessions and revelations fly like arrows and a slew of ironic twists follow one another like rain on a rooftop. It's this last part which gives this a 6 rather than a 5, since it was so crazy and so earnest in milking the "Shakespearean tragedy" card that it had it's own over-the-top charm. Also this featured some nice outdoor locations and since this is a late 60s "martial arts world" film, the production values are still quite high. In later years kung fu films would concentrate on the fight scenes and skimp on plot and production design, but here the emphasis is still on chivalry and high adventure.

After being tricked into stealing a secret kung fu manuscript, a martial arts master named "Hsia Wu" (Tien Feng) is betrayed by his trusted friend, "Sima Chau" (Tsung-hsin). Although seriously wounded, he manages to escape to safety with his young daughter in his arms. Unfortunately, that's all he has as Sima Chau not only takes the manuscript but also steals his pregnant wife, "Pui Yu" (Chiu Sam-yin). Years pass, and Sima Chau becomes quite prominent in that region of China. However, it's during this time that a bandit known as "The Silver Fox" (Lily Ho) gains a reputation as a skilled and cunning warrior, and Sima Chau soon finds himself as her main target. Now, rather than reveal much more, I'll just say that this was a typical martial arts movie with plenty of fight scenes combined with enough intrigue to keep things interesting, at least until the last 20 minutes or so when it started to unravel a bit towards the end. Even so, it still managed to pass the time quite well, and I rated it accordingly.
