Synopsis

Chang Cheh is known for his revolutionary teen angst kung-fu films, his superheroic, grand guignol "Venoms" series, his sweeping martial art epics, and the likes of this: "Martial Arts World" phantasmagoricals featuring demi-dieties of mythical kung-fu. The great international idol Alexander Fu Sheng stars as a wushu warrior who must learn the "18 Palms", the "Nine Secrets", and be taught by the "Seven Evils", to take vengeance on the man who killed his father - the Prince of the invading Chin Kingdom. With dazzling costumes, sets, and martial arts to fall back on, the director tests the mettle of future superstars Hui Ying-hung (soon to be My Young Auntie) and Kuo Chue, who was to become the star of the "Venoms" series as well as one of the most respected action choreographers in the world (with both Tomorrow Never Dies and Brotherhood Of The Wolf to his credit).
