An artist,
Ku, lives with his mother near an abandoned fort, reputed to be haunted.
One night, investigating strange noises, he meets the beautiful Yang.
She is being pursued by agents of an Imperial noble who have murdered
her family. Ku finds himself caught up in her struggle to survive, and
many fierce battles take place before all is resolved. Action adventure
with a lyrical feel, this is probably the greatest kung fu film of all
time... certainly the inspiration for CROUCHING TIGER HIDDEN DRAGON.
