About Iron Neck Li
Iron Neck Li (Chi Kuan Chun) signs on as a personal bodyguard for a Chinese prince. The potentate plans to visit the lawless island of Formosa, where criminals lie in wait -- highwaymen who would love to take a crack at the rich prince. But garden-variety brigands are the least of Li's worries when he encounters a powerful clan. Li must now put everything on the line to save the young prince.
Directed by Chang Jen-Chieh, Iron Neck Li leans on a strong ensemble — Chi Kuan-Chun, Wang Han, Hsiao Hou Tao — 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 action titles of 1978.
