Clan Feuds (1981) * NEW

I must admit that I'm a sucker for this type of Shaw Brothers film. New characters introduced every few minutes, weird sets, booby-trapped caves and bizarre killers. This one has a vampiric sword which drains victims of blood, a cute Tarzan like cave girl, a insane woman with half a scarred face, a Romeo and Juliet style romance, a blind and mute assassin team, and a villain with a deadly green-deformed-clawed hand. Ti Lung stars and it's great fun.

Classic Shaw Brothers film with Ti Lung as a swordsman, who has been framed for the murders of three clan leaders. The film focuses as much on the mystery aspects, as on the action sequences -- which makes the film stand out as something special. There are also several gorgeous women on display, a mysterious assassin in red, and the typicality great SB sets.
