Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Ti Lung and Alexander Fu Sheng were Shaw Brothers' most bankable duo, appearing in over 20 films together before Fu Sheng's tragic death in 1983.
Sun Chung's rapid-fire editing and zoom-heavy style influenced generations of Hong Kong action directors including John Woo, who cited this film's emotional male bonding as a direct inspiration.
