Golden Swallow (1968)



Shaw Bros.
Directed by Cheh Chang
My rating: 2 stars out of 4
IMDb
(DVD, Dragon Dynasty)

A master swordsman slices his way through the countryside in search of his lost love and former fellow student. He leaves darts as calling cards with the bodies, which place the responsibility not on himself but the girl. Unbeknownst to him, she is living peacefully with another man in a mountain hideaway, but is drawn out to clear her name. They eventually find each other at a brothel, leading to the inevitable duel between her competing admirers. Basically a series of sword fighting scenes with an extremely high body count and little in the way of character development or motivation.
