In a rare teaming with a female action icon, Chang directs Cheng Pei-Pei as the latter reprises her character from King Hu’s 1966 classic Come Drink with Me. Golden Swallow has forsaken violence in favor of peaceful co-existence but when she is framed for a killing spree and tries to clear her name, romantic complications ensue. Chang fully avails himself of frequent collaborator Chia-liang Liu’s expertise as wuxia fight choreographer and stunt arranger.
