Tie shou wu qing

Another entertaining Shaw Brothers martial arts action flick directed by Cheh Chang before he reached the pinnacle of his directing career several years later with the Venom Mob. In this film, Lo Lieh plays the dedicated chief constable of a small village, but ends up falling in love with the blind daughter of a vicious local bandit. It's an okay story, but characters are paper thin and the romantic sub plot slows down the main action. However, Lo Lieh delivers yet another reliably good performance, as does director Cheh Chang in delivering a number of solid (and bloody) material arts action sequences, mostly swordplay, which makes the film well worth watching.
