| Last Hurrah For Chivalry (1979)
豪俠
Director: John Woo
Starring: Liu
Sung Yen, Wei Pai
During his wedding celebrations, the scholarly Kao
(Hoi San Lee) is deposed by the brutal Pai. He swears revenge, only to
be warned off such action by his old teacher. To Kao's aid comes Chang
(Damian Lee/Liu Sung), an expert sword fighter who had only recently
hung up his blade. Also on the scene are Green (Wei Pai), a wandering
alcoholic assassin who is being wooed by a high-class whore, and Pray,
who is watching from the sidelines, intent on killing Chang to win the
reputation of master swordsman.
Chang's mother dies, and Kao arranges her funeral.
Meanwhile, Kao's teacher is attacked by Pray, and his followers
massacred. Chang challenges Pray to a duel and wins. He then teams up
with Green to take on Pai - who's all too happy to take them on. But the
duo's loyalty is soon tested, and they learn that, between friends,
there are many moves to be made.
