Interesting flick where instead of the weapon being a sword, we see a whip being used as the Master weapon. A man named Feng Chang Tien (Tien Feng) aka Shadow Whip has been in hiding for over 15 years. Turns out everybody are after him. The 16 bandits are after the Shadow Whip for stealing some jewels that they wanted their mitts on. A former sworn brother named Hong De Peng (Ku Feng) wants to avenge the death of a good friend, Chief Yang (Lo Wei), who lost the jewels and life over the matter. An unknown swordsman by the name of Wang Jian Xin (Yueh Hua) wants to avenge the death of Chief Yang too as he was his Uncle. In the end, after the Shadow Whip, Wang and the Whips niece, Yun (Cheng Pei Pei), are whipping up on their enemies and of course, some questions are being dropped as to why the Shadow Whip went into hiding? Who is Yun and where is her parents? Who is the Wang guy? What are Chief Hongs REAL intentions? After all the questions are posed, the answers come out. Decent flick that happens to be Cheng Pei Peis last flick with the Shaw Brothers before moving on to Golden Harvest.
