The Wandering Swordsman (1970)


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

David Chiang is sort of a Chinese Robin Hood, wandering the countryside doing good deeds for the poor and homeless. One day he gets tricked into joining a gang and helping them rob a treasure that is being transported across the country. When he finds out their true intentions, he fights to get it back and get revenge on the gang. Extraordinarily mundane and episodic, with Chiang flying around with ease, or making impossible leaps using backwards photography and trampolines.
