IMDb
(DVD, Crash Cinema)
Nan confronts and kills a local warlord who murdered his father years ago. In his eyes and the eyes of the peasants, it is a justified revenge killing. One day a stranger shows up at his farm and arrests him. He must transport Nan across deserts and through forests to stand trial for murder. Along the way, the men faithful to the slain warlord make several attempts to kill him. Nan is an expert fighter with long knives, his sister wields a wicked whip and even his blind, elderly mother can take on dozens of young fighters with her stick. A reverse film gimmick is overused so people can defy gravity and jump from the ground to great heights. The Crash Cinema transfer has subtitles that are frequently illegible and the sound is drowned out by background noise.
