A pretty fun and spectacular martial arts film. It's nice to see a change of scenery, apart from that though it's a pretty standard martial arts affair. A goofy apprentice, a reclusive master and a bad guy that deserves a good ass-kicking. Fast-paced, fun and action-packed, but nothing too memorable here.

Haven't seen too many 60s martial arts films yet that dabble in the fantastical, making this somewhat of a surprising watch. The pacing is nice, the sets look fine, sadly though the fight choreography is pretty bad. Lame effects and boring fights let the film down, but there is still some fun to be had besides the action.
