A lowly servant in the home of a powerful clan turns out to be the bastard offspring of the clan leader. No wonder the leader spent so many late nights in disguise training his illegitimate son the art of kung fu. When the leader is killed, it’s up to the son to rise from the bottom of the social ladder and defeat his clan’s enemies. As complicated as it may sound, the plot to this classic movie, directed by Chang Cheh (Five Deadly Venoms) is little more than an excuse for 90 minutes of high flying martial arts action. The wire work is impressive, but it’s the other-worldly effects of the lethal Silkworm Technique that make the movie unforgettable.
