Summary: revenge is a meal best served by a bell
This 1968 movie is a great little film, packed into 85 minutes of action. Fights galore, withering stares, a love story, double crosses, etc etc. A revenge tale of a young man who learns kung fu to seek vengeance for his family killed and kidnapped 5 years earlier.
I enjoyed this film immensely, the time flew by, but (there is always a but isn't there?) for that thoroughly annoying bracelet of tiny bells that constantly rings when the hero is on camera. I even wondered whether the bells of death referred to the effect it would have on the audience. That noise aside, I highly recommend this is a greay sword fighting film from the 1960s, 7.5 out of 10.
Just one thing about the title, fortunately it wasn't titled "the bracelet of death" as that would have been just silly, but it is a bracelet that the hero wears to remind him to seek revenge.
