A great movie for a collector
An English dubbed movie with a very good picture and soundtrack. This is a very good old school sword fighting martial arts movie. This movie is not another sword fighting flying through the air blood and guts all over the floor movie.This movie actually has a very good storyline and plot that is able to keep your attention. I would highly recommend this movie for those collectors who want a movie with a great story and plot and enjoy a martial arts movie that keeps you interested The costumes are great and the actors portray the characters in a believable way . A great addition to my collection I would recommend this movie for collectors.

Yet another great Shaw Brothers dvd from Dragon Dynasty
How the hell did they get the name The Girl with the Thunderbolt Kick for this movie? She uses daggers... anyway, this is Golden Swallow, the sequel to Come Drink With Me, and it's better in almost every way. This time Chang Cheh directs and he makes it much darker than the original. And they added Lo Lieh and Yu Wang to the cast! I've had problems with Lo Lieh being a hero before, since he's such a great villain, but he was quite convincing this time. He is a good friend to the title character, played by the amazing Cheng Pei-pei, though this sequel is less about Golden Swallow and more about an old acquaintance of hers: Silver Roc, played by Yu Wang. He is a rather relentless vigilante who kills in the name of Golden Swallow just to get her attention: see he's still rather obsessed with her. Cheng Pei-pei is a much better action performer in this film than she was in the first and has some great moments, but this is Yu Wang's movie and he lays waste to all sorts of villainous types from beginning to end.

Golden swallow
I've purchase this DVD because I watched this film when I was about 12 years old in Vietnam. The DVD arrived in very good condition as they said and the quality is good. Except 1 or 2 missing scence in the film and the first 7 minutes of the film was dark (hardly seen at all & jumpy)...I don't know because of the DVD bad or they made it the way it is, otherwise if you knew and like the famous actors and actress in the movie (Wang Yu, Cheng Pei Pei, Lo Leih) like me then it's a good collection for your Chinese movie.

I love Kung-Fu movies
Great action, great fight scenes, skillful actors. The plots tend to always be the same (avenging a murdered master, rescuing a kidnapped girl, challenging a drug lord, etc….). But I watch them for the great choreographed fight scenes.

Every body was kung fu fighting.
I like watching these kind of movies from time to time. there was good action in it. I think the story line could have been better. maybe that's just me.

An older movie that still packs a punch. Wang Yu is fabulous. The sword play is grand and the special effects are realistic. I loved this movie.

Men will fly, especially in ancient China.
A hoot from the days of Kung Foolery on the big screen. Wang Yu & Cheng Pei Pei, lark about in Chang Cheuh's Golden Swallow. Wang Yu as a two armed version of his best incantation of 'The One armed swordsman'.The plot as it is, revolves around a female swordsman, & her fascination with Wang Yu's character, at the expense of her love lorn suitor.However, its got all of the hallmarks of Chang Cheuh's handywork stamped all over it. Plenty of blood flying around! That's why as a teenagers, we loved them.As an adult & a Martial artist, the fighting scenes are completely barking mad, but that's the charm of these Shaw Brothers epics, alongside the hilarious dialogue.I remembered my open mouthed disbelief, of first seeing men flying through the air engaged (all be it on wires) in hand to hand combat, & wondering why don't the Chinese win the Olympic high, & long jumps on a continuous basis.The arguments among my compatriots as to the absolute truth of it, it all came rushing back.Great times!

Wang yu und shaw brothers fans können bedenkenlos zugreifen
Ein früher alltime classic movie von chang cheh das einzige was ich an dem film etwas zu bemängeln habe ist das bei der engl. sprache öfter kleine störungen beim sound auftreten die dem spass am film aber keinen abbruch tun ansonsten kann ich den film jeden martial arts , shaw brothers so wie wang yu fan sehr empfehlen
