Engaging plot and quite brutal
Lost Potential
Overall, you have an interesting story, that seems rushed. I watched this film under the deadly knives moniker, which only made sense in the the last few minutes. Yet, the fists of vengeance title wasn't anymore appropriate. The fight scenes, for the most part, were chaotic, which would be realistic given all of the performers involved. I have a preference for the dance style fight scenes, that the Shaw Brothers generally have in their movies. Naturally, given all of the sword play needed in this film, that style of choreography, would not have been as effective. In summary, I enjoyed this movie, however, I believe there was unrealized potential lost in the production.
