Before Chu Yuan reinvented the swordplay genre with "Killer Clans" in 1976, he had already directed some 40 movies, including one of his first martial arts featurettes, "Duel for Gold." This is a good movie like most of the swordplay flicks from this era. It was kind of hard for me to like this one because EVERYONE herein is wicked and evil and greedy. But if you don't mind the evil characters, it's easy to enjoy, as the fights are okay and the plot is great.
