This is one of the dullest Kung Fu / swordplay-movies I've ever seen. And it had absolutely no Kung Fu or swordplay in it!!
The main character felt sorry for himself and got drunk all day. Then he was a little mean to people around him and got more drunk. That's it! Nothing more to say. It bored the s**t of me. I heard it was a remake of "The Sentimental Swordsman", which I really like and therefore I was excited to see it. And also it has Sony Chiba in it, so you can at least expect a decent Kung Fu flick. Serious mistake! There was not one fight, neither swordplay nor Kung Fu.
Sorry, at the end of the movie there's actually one fight scene. But very new wave, bad done and boring!
Don't spend a penny on it!
