Ringing Sword

Clad in white and wielding the deadly Ringing Sword, the beautiful Yeh Chiu Lu wanders the countryside righting the wrongs perpetrated by the White-Haired Warlord, Tsao Tan (Law Bun, "King Of Kings"). Determined to wipe out the Chiang Clan, Tsao Tan sets his swordsman to capture Master Chiang (Kong Ban, "Shaolin Kung Fu Mystagogue"), the last of the clan. Only the Ringing Sword and a mysterious ninja, with his own vendetta against Tsao Tan, stand in his way.

Directed by Chien Lung, Ringing Sword leans on a strong ensemble — Chiang Pin, Fan Ling, Chen Hui-mei — 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 drama titles of 1969.
