YesAsia Editorial Description
Director Chor Yuen once again takes a chapter out of author Gu Long's works with Clans of Intrigue, an exciting and surprising Shaw Brothers film starring the charismatic Di Lung! A masked villain is terrorizing the martial arts world, and all signs point to the use of the deadly Magic Water from the Magic Water Palace. Palace representative Kung Nan Yen (Nora Miao) accuses noted swordsman Chu Liu Hsiang (Di Lung) of the Magic Water's theft, but he professes his innocence and vows to find the real culprit. His journey takes him through the treacherous World of Martial Arts, as he meets mysterious characters and even uncovers a startling secret that may prove to be the key to clearing his name! Featuring a thoroughly involving and twist-laden martial arts storyline, Clans of Intrigue ups the entertainment ante with love triangles and mystical gender switches, adding a layer of fantasy to an already packed martial arts epic! Di Lung is joined by veteran Shaw Brothers stars, including Ngok Wah, Ling Yun, Li Ching and Goo Fung for director Chor Yuen's fantastic and entertaining Clans of Intrigue!

Product Information
主演：狄龍╱貝╱苗可秀╱岳華
Cast: Di Long/ Pei Ti/ Miu Ho Sau/ Ngok Wah
導演：楚原
Director: Choh Yuen
俠盜楚留香（狄龍），武功極高，瀟酒風流。
某天，楚留香歡宴好友無花和尚（岳華）等，神水宮的宮南燕（苗可秀）突然來到，指稱楚盜去神水宮的天一神水，且毒殺多人。除非楚能在一個月內將兇手抓來，否則神水宮宮主陰姬（貝蒂）必將置他於死地。楚留香相信背後必然隱伏著一大陰謀，乃決定調查此事……
This retelling of legendary swordsman Chu Liu-hsiang is elevated by novelist Ku Lung's strong story, striking visuals by the vaunted director, but especially a first rate cast led by the majestic Ti Lung. He must hazard treacherous warriors and even a cross-gendered monk to solve the murder of three clan leaders. All that, and the presence of Nora Miao, fresh from her triumphs in Bruce Lee's films, made this a 1977 top-five box office hit and an amazing treat today.

Borderline Outrageous
| Luckily for Ti Lung, the majority of his classic swordsman films are wonderfully memorable. This one being one of those. This is a wierd plot, gender bending just to twist it up some more. Borderline ridiculous but teetering just so it doesn't lose the audience. Can I just say, impaling someone with your self-amputated arm is wicked cool to do to your enemy! |

Loved it in the theater!
|
This is an outstanding Shaw Brothers film. Chu Yuan's lavish and campy production values add to the fun. This style of martial arts film deserves more attention in the West than the chop-socky stuff that is usually lauded. Flowing swordplay, plot twists and elaborate sets characterize the collaborations between director Chu Yuan and novelist Gu Long. You can't go wrong with this combination. I would be curious to know what version the film reviewer Terrence Lee (above) saw. The Celestial Pictures DVDs tend to have very high standards. Was this a VCD version? I saw it in the theater at the last Golden Horse Film Festival with the original subtitles, which were quite good. On the other hand, Celestial Pictures DVD releases generally have a few problems in the subtitles. Nothing that will spoil the movie, but they may cause you to rewind once or twice. I wonder why they feel the need to retranslate subtitles when the originals are already adequate? |

Great classic
| Most of the early martial arts production, it is common to find a plot that lack enough substance and good story line. Usually we tend to forgive the thin story line for the great action sequence. Well, in this Di Lung's classic, Clan of the Intrigue has both a great story line and good action. That's why it is a great classic to own. Highly recommended! |

Classic Movie Censored!
|
This is an excellent classic movie with marvellous stars like movie queen Li Ching, Nora Miao, Betty Pei Ti, Ling Yun & Ti Lung. The pllot is great too. BUT 2 scenes are censored. The famous kiss between Nora & Betty is cut but then why show it in the soecial features section? It will only highlight the fact that this dvd is censored. The other scene is in the palace when the princess Betty is taking a bath in the pool. I have a video where you see the naked palace maids jumping into the pool. In the dvd, you see Ti Lung peeping but that brief scene is cut & if you listen carefully, you can hear the music abruptly cut too. This is very disappointing as many other bolder naked scenes in the 1st batches of Shaw releases are not cut. maybe Celestial is trying to avoid a Category 3 rating for their Shaw dvds! Aspect ratio is also wrong as Celestial has blocked off the original subtitles & so that portion of film at the bottom cannot be seen. Sometimes when an actor is sitting down, his face is chopped off around the mouth area. This is BAD! Celestial has also blocked off the top to give us a fake cinemascope so sometimes actors standing have their hair chopped off. This is UNPROFESSIONAL! |

Enjoyable dvd
| The movie is good, and so is the dvd. The color is simply 'i-chi-ban', except that the compression is occasionally visible, but it isn't a nuisance. Anyway, excellent calibration ! The sound of Cantonese version is clear, a better way to enjoy this movie digitally restored. Henceforth, I do have a choice, sweeping aside all the miserable dvds in my video library, SB movies will gradually fill my home cinema. There's always a time and a place for SB movies, it's great ! |
