Based on a novel by Gu Long, Frankie Chan's A Warrior's Tragedy details the parallel stories of two warriors: one trained to love, the other to hate, both to be superior swordsman. On one side of this twisty tale of murder and revenge lies the dark and brooding Fu Hung-Suet (Ti Lung). Dressed from head to toe in basic black, Fu wanders from town to town, dispatching his enemies with his impressive ebony sabre. On the other end of the spectrum is the happy-go-lucky Yip Hoi (Frankie Chan), a cheeky, mustachioed fellow who dresses in white and happens to be a proficient martial artist. As one would expect, the two contrasting swordsman are locked on a proverbial collision course with destiny as both are invited to the home of the villainous Ma Hong-Kwan, who has a sinister connection to our heroes.
Reviews
Based by the series book of Ku Lung, this movie is one of the best swordsman movie. Actually, this movie was been made already with Ti Lung also as Fu Hung Suet at the 70's (Shaw Brothers Era). But, compared with the old one, this really magnificent, with the loyalty with the original plot. Even greater when Ti Lung revisited his role as Fu Hung Suet and meet with entire new and more modern cast, such as Anita Yuen and Julian Cheung. The plot is a bit complicated, but that not make this movie confusing to the audience but still enjoyable enough to watch. So,if you a big fan of martial art's world flick, this highly recommended.7/10
