這三個結拜兄弟本耒是出生入死之交情,想不到被其中一個为了爱情出賣朋友,实在很耻慙!
狄龍就是那個不忠诚狡诈的背叛者,他两個朋友因此而被害.
這是太可憐的故事,看完使人满肚氣!
找一個忠实的朋友是不容易呀!

Wow, what a movie! Stimulating and fearless martial arts choreography teamed up with overwrought scripts.

Ti Lung's villainous portrayal isn't very convincing. In fact, he's slightly wooden with his facial expressions in spite of the fact that he's an excellent fighter with his real punches and deadly kicks!

David, however, has an easy, assured manner that bordered on the sardonic, i.e. 'being a busybody' and sadly, created a problem of confused loyalties between 3 of them. Still, I think his acting performance outshines his 2 other friends.

Chan Kuan Tai, the hero I looked up to in "The Boxer From Shantung", has come as something of a shock to me in this film. He appears wiry, less macho and makes a mockery of his portrayal as an insensitive, possessive womanizer!

Ching Li, on the other hand, is a sweet, naive and good-hearted married woman at the beginning. However, as the story advances, she succumbs to a brief storm of feminine emotion.......falling so hard and so fast for Ti Lung till the whole incident spirals out of control which leads to tragic finale!

In the end, 3 big heroes died because of one helpless lady. Just not fair! The injustice of that seared my soul.
