The "Scenario and Directed By" credit is rare, but Lung Yi-sheng warranted it for two memorable Shaw movies starring the lovely and lethal Hui Ying-hung. This is the first - a beautiful fight fantasy of lute demons, magical arrows, bottomless abysses, an arduous quest, hermaphrodites, a villain named "Red-Haired Evil," and a mischievous knight named "Old Naughty." It's little wonder Lung also directed, since another director might inadvertently deflate this delicate, but delightful, confection.
