Description:
The Kangxi Emperor has died, and Yongzheng (Yueh Hua) takes the throne. Defying all honor, Yongzheng orders Nian Gengyao (Lo Lieh) to wipe out his own fellow disciples — the Eight Heroes of Jiangnan. But Lu Siniang (Hsu Feng) and a few others escape, and they swear to kill Yongzheng.
Nian Gengyao wins battle after battle, conquering half the realm for Yongzheng, and grows arrogant, believing his merits outweigh his sovereign's. At the victory banquet he loses his composure while drunk, shows Yongzheng no respect, and offends him with insolent words. Show more Yongzheng orders him demoted, and finally stripped down to a gate guard, while secretly sending the Blood Droplets to kill him. Only because Lu Siniang and her companions arrive in time does Nian escape. Cursing his own blindness, Nian gouges out both his eyes and dies in bitterness, but before his death he tells Lu Siniang of a secret passage into the palace so she can attempt the assassination. Lu Siniang and her companions enter the palace but fail to kill Yongzheng, so they turn to a honey trap, planting spies inside the palace, and at last succeed in assassinating him.

После смерти императора Канси, новым провозглашается император Юн Чжэнь (Юэ Хуа), четвертый принц, однако некоторые уверены, что следующим императором должен был стать четырнадцатый принц (где-то мы уже это видели и не раз). Ло Лье играет маршала Ниена, которому приказано расправиться с неугодными конкурентами, среди которых боевая очаровашка Су Фэн (Четвертая сестра), израненная, кровоточащая, но не сломленная. Поклявшаяся во что бы то не стало, убить нового императора. Эльза Юнг в роли принцессы Ниан, сестры Ло Лье по фильму, эффектно появляющаяся в красочном наряде на 22 минуте.
Помимо рукопашных и меченосных драк (при задействовании разнообразного холодного оружия: веера, посоха, колец), в ленте используется популярное, в кинематографе того времени, оружие - летающая гильотина. Так же впечатляют покои императора со всевозможными ловушками.
Несмотря на участие известных актеров и "сочную" картинку, лента страдает от жесткого монтажа в нескольких местах (видать, кое-где обрезали для уменьшения хронометража). Кроме того, присутствуют глупости в виде вырывания собственных глаз пальцами рук и самоубийства. Да и с Девятнадцатым принцем обошлись как-то жестоко. Невзирая на минусы, фильм рекомендуется к переводу и просмотру.
P.S. На Дубане, в актерском составе, присутствует Боло (movie.douban.com/subject/3299021/celebrities), однако в ленте он не обнаружен.
