Duel to the Death

Aroview: Groundbreaking martial-arts actioner from dir. Ching Siu-Tung (CHINESE GHOST STORY) about a Ming-era duel between a Chinese (Lau) and a Japanese (Chu) fighter to decide whose national tradition is superior, however both find themselves beset with inteference from factions seeking to 'fix' the outcome.

Boasting gravity-defying action moves, spectacular set-pieces and humourous side-characters, this took the 1970s Shaw Bros. formula into a new realm of swift-paced, kinetic entertainments. Watch out especially for the nude ninja trickery!
