director: Lui Chia Liang
starring: Gordon Liu · Yasuaki Kurata · Cheng Hong-yip · Norman Chu · Yuka Mizuno · Wilson Tong

One of the few Chinese martial arts movies that take both Chinese and Japanese fighting seriously. Both Liu Chia Hui (Gordon Liu) and Yasaki Kurata are in top form. This Shaw Bros production is generally considered one of their best films. The plot deals with a young Chinese man (Liu) who marries a Japanese woman through an arranged marriage. He manages to insult her martial arts training (and thus, all those who taught her) by issuing a challenge that is misinterpreted by almost everybody. He must then prove how good Chinese Kung Fu really is through a series of duels with the seven Japanese fighters who come to meet the challenge.
