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.

While most of Shaw Brothers movies revolved around only a select group of characters, "Life Gamble", instead had a ensemble cast that swelled up to at least 16.
The story basically revolved around a group of bandits (three men and a woman) who waylayed a caravan belonging to the Nan family, who in turn was "escorting" ... Read More
