No hook and sparse action

It starts with a war and something about Christianity. Hsu Feng wants revenge. The victors celebrate and a spy reports to the general. David Chiang challenges the beggar spy as his enemy. Beach mats are used as weapons. David Chiang cannot prove the officer is a traitor. There is a lot of talking.

The story fails to have any kind of a hook. The fights are few and substandard. The fast forward button is mandatory for watching this poor excuse for a martial arts movie.

My copy was the common Ocean Shores video release, a VHS dubbed in English and since converted to a digital file. I watched it once to write a review. I doubt I will ever watch it again. The secrets mentioned in the title shall remain lost forever.
