This titanic tale of a daring and heroic "Robin Hood" of the seas took no less than three directors: the "godfather of the kung-fu film," Chang Cheh, his trusted co-director Pao Hsueh-li, and soon-to-be pioneer filmmaker Wu Ma. Adding to its importance is the fact that it is clearly a starring showcase for Ti Lung, who swashes and buckles with the best of them. It all adds up to epic entertainment which ranks with the finest seafaring adventures.
