Heads for Sale (1970)
Reviewed by: mpongpun on 2003-07-22
Nice title for a sword movie! Too bad there was only a few heads dropping. In this one, you get to see the gentle, loving Chiao Chiao wield a sword. She does a good job. Chiao Chiao plays Hua Pi Lien. The flick starts off with Pi Lien being jilted by her lover, Lo Hung Hsun (Chen Liang). Wanting to get away and release some frustrations, Pi Lien disappears for a while and later manages to upset a nasty debt collector (played by Fan Mei Sheng). Meanwhile, Hung Hsun decides to look for his girlfriend and when he does find her, she is in a showdown with the debt collector and his men. Hung Hsun saves Pi Lien and the debt collector runs off and tells his Boss (played by Kao Feng) with a big scar across his face. It so happens that this Boss and Hung Hsun have met before and this Boss with the scar would surely like to pay Hung Hsun a visit. You know what I mean? But you know what? After a sword orgy in which a load of people are dueling with swords and throwing darts at each other, Pi Lien and the Boss with the scar on his face duel each other on a suspension bridge. Quite exciting! Pi Lien is hanging on for dear life and then all of a sudden like flies on rice, Hung Hsun comes out of nowhere to save the day!
