Director Chang Cheh and his stars Ti Lung and David Chiang were known as the "Iron Triangle" for their many successful films together. But perhaps they should have been known as the "Iron Rectangle" because of the invaluable contributions of action choreographer Liu Chia-liang (a.k.a. Lau Kar-leung). This post Chinese Revolution adventure of rebels battling warlords is a prime example of the quartet's remarkable skill behind and in front of the camera. Their teamwork made this a 1971 top ten hit.
