They were married from until his death in July Alternate versions The master used on the DVD releases by Celestial Pictures is missing roughly one and a half minute of material in the final fight scene. Supposedly the print of that part of the scene was too badly damaged. Connections Referenced in Sparrow of Shaolin User reviews 12 Review. Top review. Top notch chop socky. Two strangers—one seeking revenge, the other looking for redemption—join forces to defeat a common enemy, the Iron Boat Clan, a gang of bloodthirsty bandits raised from childhood by the cruel overlord Yoh Xi-hung Feng Ku.

As the two men brilliantly played by tragic star Alexander Fu Sheng and martial arts legend Ti Lung fight side by side, they form an unlikely friendship, but when they finally face their ultimate foe, the despicable Yoh Xi Hung, the tragedy that connects them threatens to divide them. An epic tale of love, revenge, absolution, camaraderie, and intertwined destinies, The Avenging Eagle is classic Shaw Brothers storytelling, told with the utmost skill and style by director Chung Sun, who delivers a visually stunning and throughly engaging masterpiece.

Sun also proves to be no slouch when it comes to capturing awesome fight action: featuring an incredible raft of villains, each adept at a different weapon including spears, rings, axes, swords, and metal claws , this marvellous martial arts spectacular delivers some of the most entertaining fight scenes I've seen in an old-school kung fu movie, with incredible stunts, impressive acrobatics and brutal violence galore, all leading up to a fantastic finale in Yoh Xi Hung's HQ that sees our 'heroes' duking it out with numerous henchmen on their way to the top man, including a duel with a pair of deadly one-armed bandits the human kind, not the fruit machine variety.

I particularly liked how his camera and edits followed the flow of the weapons. Avenging Eagle is weapons-centric martial arts and Sun Chung has likewise centered his camera on them. If there's a cut, it's to see the impact of the weapon being thrust in the previous shot--whether it's clashing with another weapon, destroying scenery, or wounded an opponent.

Not only is it brilliantly coherent, it's damn cool. Shaw Bros wuxia simplicity at its finest. A non-linear structure keeps the pace brisk and themes of morality at the forefront of the plot. Familiar, definitely, but executed with efficiency. Pure wuxia fun is where the movie excels. Characters defined more by their actions in combat and their unique weapon of choice than…. He plays Chik Ming-sing, a member of the Eagle Clan, a bunch of assassins raised and trained by Yoh Xi-hung, an avid practitioner of Kung Fu Treachery and possibly the guy with the most impressive white beard and eyebrows in the Shaw Brothers universe.

Ming-sing leaves the Eagle clan and tries to live a normal life, but fellow Eagle clan members follow after him and when a stranger played by Fu Sheng helps him fend the suckers off they team up and glorious Kung Fu fights ensue.

I am just digging the shiznet out of these Shaw Bro's flicks. The Avenging Eagle is thematically rich, has complex motivations, excellent character building and unexpected moments of dialogue that really flesh out the action and elevate the material.

The choreography and direction is a breath of fresh air and the leads, both hero and villain, are exceptional. I enjoyed every second of this and plan on enduring love affair until I'm old enough to be confused by the remote. Hopefully my nurse will know what the hell im jabbering on about, hit me with another dose of the good stuff and let me enjoy The Avenging Eagle in blissful stupor. I'm going out with a bang baby! Well, how nice from Netflix to make this available to me in widescreen and in the best resolution possible.
