The Swordsman of All Swordsmen (1968) PLUS The Mystery of Chess Boxing (1979)
A tale of honour and revenge by a celebrated master of wuxia cinema, Joseph Kuo!
Having witnessed the brutal slaying of his entire family as a small child, Tsai Ying-jie (Tien Peng, A Touch of Zen) spends several years wandering in search of those responsible. After years in training, he intends to use his expert swordsmanship to exact vengeance on Yun Chun-chung (Tsao Tsien, Dragon Inn) and his four accomplices, who murdered his father in order to obtain a legendary weapon known as the Spirit Chasing Sword. But after dispatching several rival swordsmen who incur his wrath, Tsai comes to contemplate the futile nature of revenge after Yun Chun-chung’s daughter, Flying Swallow (Polly Shang-Kuan Ling-Feng, Back Alley Princess), saves his life.
Followed by The Bravest Revenge and The Ghost Hill, The Swordsman of All Swordsmenis the first entry in Joseph Kuo’s Tsai Ying-jie trilogy and a landmark work in the wuxia genre.
Feature length audio commentary by Asian film expert Frank Djeng and film writer John Charles (The Hong Kong Filmography, 1977–1997)
