About Imperial Tomb Raiders
When Emperor Xian Feng (1831-1861) favourite concubine Cao died, he had her secretly buried in a huge cavern of the remote Qing Gang Mountains. Rumour has it that the "Eternal night-shining Pearl" was buried with her. About 20 years later it appears that 1 of 8 palace maiden, chosen to follow her to the death, escaped and is now most wanted by a bunch of unscrupulous bandits, who want her to lead to them to that hidden location. They encounter unexpected resistance, when they are opposed by a quintet of women fighters and a male government official.
Directed by Ting Shan-Hsi, Imperial Tomb Raiders leans on a strong ensemble — Wang Yong, Yan-yung Tso, Chiang Yang — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about adventure titles of 1973.
