About The Legend of Broken Sword
It's all action, all the time, in this seldom-seen kung fu extravaganza starring Tien Peng, who's all dressed up with somewhere to go: He's on his way to kick some butt! In the vaunted tradition of grind-house Hong Kong action flicks, this film features breathtaking thrilling battles and martial arts moves that have to be seen to be believed (and then you still won't believe them!).
Directed by Tsai Yang-Ming, The Legend of Broken Sword leans on a strong ensemble — Doris Lung Chun-Erh, Ling Yun, Wen Chiang-Lung — 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 1980.
