- Synopsis
- To rescue her brother who has been kidnapped by a ruthless bandit, Two-sword fencer Golden Swallow (CHENG Pei-pei) goes to the bandit's territory by herself. Although fighting bravely against overwhelming odds, she is hit by a poison dart. With help from a legendary swordsman (YUEH Hua), Golden Swallow heads to the enemy's land again... The second film by the maestro King HU, "Come Drink with Me", is a radiant masterpiece in Chinese film history, which established the style of Wuxia (Chinese martial arts) films. The highlights are the dynamic action adapted from Chinese Opera and CHENG Pei-pei's noble bearing. ANG Lee's "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", in which CHENG starred, paid homage to this film.
