| Summary |
| |
Wrath of the Sword isn’t a Shaw Brothers film, but it features so many Shaw players both behind and in front of the camera. The film opens with the massacre of the Bai family, but one descendant remains: Bai Ying (Shu Pei-Pei), and she’s out for vengeance. For unexplained reasons a mysterious swordsman, Yu Qing-Hua (Tang Ching), seems intent on helping Bai Ying on her mission, but as he points out to her, she doesn’t even know who her enemies are. Good thing those evil bastards aren’t shy at all, ambushing Bai Ying whenever the opportunity presents itself.
That said, there are some fantastic moments of our wuxia heroes performing fun wuxia feats.
There’s a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it jump from a container full of chopsticks on a table, but the most memorable and impressive feat comes later in the film (but still in the inn). Upper-level henchman Tso Zhi-Da (Wu Ma) is doing his best to intimidate Bai Ying with his martial skills, but she easily turns the tables on him.
First he offers her a drink by throwing a cup full of wine to her from across the room. But this is child’s play for Bai Ying; she catches the cup in her mouth and drinks it down in one smooth motion. The scene continues through more of these impressive feats until Bai Ying has resolutely proved her dominance. - Eastern Heroes |
