Death Duel

Aroview: A Shaw Bros. extravaganza that benefits from its pared-down take on the swordplay-and-intrigue formula and impressive visuals, enhanced here by the widescreen restoration.

Handsome then-newcomer Derek Yee plays a wandering, enigmatic kung fu expert with a reputation that frequently calls him to be challenged by other swordsmen. True to form, veteran dir. Yuan reigns in some lively and beautiful women to spice up the action.
