Clan Feuds (1982) [Da qi ying xiong chuan]
The director of Shaolin Kung-fu Mystagogue honored legendary directors Chu Yuan and Chang Cheh, as well as kung-fu cinema itself, in this film. Like Chu Yuan did so often and so successfully, Chang Peng-yi adapted it from a story by Ku Lung. And like Chang Cheh, he cast the majestic Ti Lung, along with “Venoms” Lo Meng and Sun Chien (not to mention master action actors Ai Fei, Pai Piao, and the “queen of Shaw kung-fu,” Lily Li). The result is a spectacular showcase of mystical “Martial Arts World” intrigue and consummate kung-fu. The title doesn’t lie: the many rivalries, counterplots, and deceptions are as fascinating to the mind as the amazing choreography is pleasing to the eye.
