Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Ho Meng-Hua was Shaw Brothers' utility player, cranking out 40+ films in the 60s-70s while inventing visual grammar for wuxia revenge that Tarantino still owes royalties on.
The 'killer darts' were reportedly real throwing weapons on set — insurance nightmare, cinematic gold. One extra still has a scar.
