Nu xia hei hu die

Lisa Chiao Chiao plays a waitress by day and Robin Hood by night. She is the girl who rescued Jimmy Wang Yu just after he became The One-Armed Swordsman. She works at the teahouse on a lake. This is one of my favorite Shaw Brothers sets. It also appears in "The Jade Raksha" and "The Magnificent Swordsman".

If you are expecting a fight you will have to wait until about the thirty one minute mark. Lisa's stunt double then begins a fight against her father Tien Feng. The fight spreads out and continues for about ten minutes. I must complain the fights are disappointing in this movie. First of all the better formula is frequent short fights not few long fights. Second, when a small army surrounds the lone hero and hero escapes with a jump or a swing of the sword blows them all away, that fight sequence was overdue to be forgotten forever even in 1968.

There is no action director listed in the credits but many of the actors, particularly Hang Ying-Chieh (Bruce Lee's "The Big Boss") could have done the job.
