The heroine is Golden Swallow (Cheng Pei-pei). She's been dispatched by her powerful father to rescue her brother who's been taken hostage by bandits. The kung-fu master is Fan Da-pei; he may look like a drunken beggar but he's one of the best fighters around. Trouble is, the only man who can beat him is helping the bandits. (88 Films)

What Ang Lee excelled at with the film "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" was not something completely new, but rather a rediscovery and perfection of what King Hu had already brought in the 60s. An excellent action spectacle with surprisingly great moments and fights that were very good even for their time. A beautiful showcase for lovers of action movies, proving that it was possible even 50 years ago. ()
