Shaw Brothers’ wuxia masterpiece THE MAGIC BLADE arrives on DVD in the U.S. this week courtesy of Image Entertainment. This is arguably the greatest among director Chu Yuan’s many adaptations of Gu Long’s celebrated wuxia novels.
The film stars Ti Lung (THE ANONYMOUS HEROES, DRUNKEN MASTER 2) as an enigmatic swordsman with a spinning blade, who puts off a duel with his rival (Lo Lieh) to team up against a power-hungry villain and search for the deadly super weapon, the Peacock Dart.
Swordplay action is choreographed by the great Tang Chia (SHAOLIN PRINCE).
Image Entertainment’s release comes with a stills gallery.
