Starring: Chen Kuan-Tai, Jason Pai Piao, Ku Feng. Directed by Chih-Hung Kwei.
Not to be confused with another movie titled "Lightning Kung Fu" starring and directed by Sammo Hung, this movie is a very dark and atmospheric swordplay movie from Shaw Bros. This movie stars Chen Kuan-Tai as Ling Tien Ying, a constable of the Dowager Empress. When two million taels of gold are stolen from the royal vaults, the Empress dispatches Ling to track down the gold and the culprits who stole it. He assembles a team of deputies to accompany him...and together they walk into a trap in which they must use their kung fu and sword-fighting skills to survive.
All in all an excellent movie worth checking out if you like swordplay movies, the Shaw Bros. genre, or kung fu movies in general!
Also known as: Lightning Kung Fu, Karate Exterminators, 萬人斬/Wan Ren Zan (original Mandarin title-HK)
