The Avenging Eagle

Be prepared to mix some Bolognese sauce with your Chinese noodles for this one. Deserted villages, vast empty plains and a journey on horseback towards revenge and redemption. You'd almost think you're in a spaghetti western! Ti Lung is an orphan raised by a gang of kidnappers. After turning into an indiscriminate killer, his conscience takes a hold of him and he abandons the group. He leaves to discover the world. But his former buddies aren't pleased and hunt him down. His only solution is to battle it out with the clan's leader. He meets a swordsmaster who shares his intentions and the two form an unlikely duo, bonded by their common goal. Yet they also have a lot to hide from one another.... An engrossing movie with spectacular action and drama that, unlike any other, manages to breathe some life into the unrealistic Shaw sets. Don't miss the outrageous end-fight!
