Twelve Deadly Coins (1969)
Reviewed by: hkcinema on 1999-12-08
Yu Chien Ping (Tien Feng) is the master of the 12 DeadlyCoins (an art of coin throwing that can kill). Chiao Mao (Lo Lieh) is one of his disciples (his best disciple). Unfortunately, Yu puts Chiao's rival, Yu Hua, in charge of transporting a load of gold. Bandits kill Yu's men and take the gold and set thing up so that it looks like Chiao did it! With 200,000 taels of gold missing, his wife imprisioned and his bureau closed, Yu sets on to extract revenge on Chiao (with the real villian waiting for him). This is definitely a shaw classic. It has tons of action and suspense (dont worry, its not all coin throwing either). I love the story. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

(3.5/4)
