This flick is a swordplay flick that takes on a ghostly feeling later on the film. The daughter (Ching Li) of a slain hero (Ma Chi) is on a mission to take the coveted Gold Dragon Sword back to the Capital for safe keeping. The young girl, named Fog Sin Fan, encounters a bunch of thugs at each step but later meets up with the person in charge of all her miseries: a 135 year old man in a 35 year old’s body, Sha Tsu (Chen Hung Lieh)! Sin Fan and Sha Tsu square off, but Sin Fan cannot handle Sha Tsu’s masterful swordplay and later kicks the bucket. Nevertheless, the mission is still not over for Sin Fan as for her, NO mission is impossible; at least it isn’t if you have the Gold Dragon Sword. Eventually, the Gold Dragon Sword makes it back to the Capital and Sin Fan for all her troubles is anointed “fairy-like” status as the “filial Gin”.
