The DVD I have of this one claims that it is a Shaw Brothers production, and while it has a few impressive sets on display it's clearly not up to their standards. This is actually made in Taiwan and is an adaption of a series of novels about a Robin Hood-esque character. Played by Meng Fei, our hero here tries throughout the film to remain faithful to a lady that he just seems to have randomly met in the woods while going up against some bad guy that keeps a dungeon full of slaves. He controls them, kinda like zombies, by sticking some magic potion or something into their heads. You get one scene of blurred out nudity and a bunch of fairly comedic fights. Everything ends up exactly how you would expect. Good film to help one sleep at 4 a.m. but not all that memorable.
