- Ending Fatigue: This is one of the few old wuxia films starring Jimmy Wang Yu with a running time exceeding two hours (2 hours and 15 minutes, to be precise). The movie spends a little too much time in the romance scenes for an action film, and by the time Jimmy Wang-yu dies onscreen near the 2 hour mark, the film spends yet another 15 minutes showing Lisa Chiao's heartbreak before she decides to join him in death.
