This was a beautifully restored dvd from Jade Tiger, which was some kind of branding spin-off Image Entertainment tried to use for some of its Shaw Brothers titles, but only this and Opium and the Kung-Fu Master made it out on that label.

This Shaw Brothers film has all of the venoms cast in a story that takes on many turns Fu Shengs character is an expert knife thrower who is a hired killer. Lo Meng who also is a knife tossing expect who and every other character in this film are all after a secret treasure they in turn are all fighting each other. Not a 5 star movie but has a lot of different characters using a variety of styles.
