YesAsia Editorial Description
A typically star-packed cast highlights Heroes Shed No Tears, a 1980 fantasy wuxia directed by veteran filmmaker Chor Yuen! Alexander Fu Sheng heads the cast as Kao Chien Fei, a young swordsman who bears a special sword with a teardrop forged into its blade. Chien Fei is charged with averting an impending crisis in the martial arts world, but the villain, Zhou Tung Lai (future director Derek Yee Tung Sing), wishes to become the ruler of the world of martial arts, and launches a scheme to pit the various heroes against one another. Hidden agendas, venerable heroes, and conflicts of love and honor are at the center of Heroes Shed No Tears, which features a twisting, intrigue-filled plot based on the works of classic author Gu Long! Director Chor Yuen brings the same deft handling of swordplay drama that he did to his other popular Shaw Brothers films, including Killer Clans, The Magic Blade, and The Sentimental Swordsman. Co-starring Jason Bak Biu, Goo Fung, Ngok Wah, and Angie Chiu Nga Chi.

Not quite drama or action
|
I don't quite see what there was a rave about in this film; aside from fitting into the classic category, it was a weak presentation. It was niether drama nor action which was disappointing especially with the potentially powerful cast on board...maybe everyone was burnt from the high rate of films they had to put out back in the day. Anyway, I don't regret having this film but I'm glad it's the VCD & not the DVD. |

Fu Sheng's Serious Role in Swordman flicks
|
The film directed by Chu Yuan and lead by Fu Sheng is unique (All other titles are led by Ti Lung). A fresh-feel of the swordman title bundled with legendary swordman world conspiracy. The finale is touching when Chew Ah Chi "died" accompanied by a touching song sung by Jenny. |

One of the last sworldplay classic.
|
This is a must keep. After a few poorer ones by Chu Yuan/Ku Lung, acted mostly by Ti Lung, this one is special and broke box-office of all the previous during its time of release, partly made popular by the TV series, and audience are rushing in, too eager for its ending. The settings and characters are outstanding in this one and the sword-fighting scenes are special and at its best. A song by diva Jenny made it even more memorable. |

Definate purchase for shaws collectors
|
Its wonderful to see Shaw Brothers films fully remastered like this. This film looks absolutely fantastic, the colours are vibrant & the typical "in-house" Shaws sets are evocative. The story has a typical Kung Lung novella feel to it, about the Martial World & the secret relationships between the vsrious characters. The film has a kinda dreamy, sad feel to it. Fu Sheng is good and the youthful Guo Jianfei, Jason Pia Paio & Ku Feng are excellent in their respective roles, and derek Yee probably steals the show with a memorable (if rare) bad guy performance. My one gripe with Chu Yuan films is that the Kung Fu isnt of the standards that Liu Chia Liang or the Venoms were putting out at the time, but the martial arts action has improved this time around. |

Another Chu Yuan masterpiece
|
It looks like I can only be satisfied with a Chu Yuan movie in the swordplay genre. Chang Cheuh and Hua Shan's movies lack that special something compared to a Chu Yuan-directed flick.This movie has a good plot and excellent performances from Derek Erh Tung Sheng, Jason Pai Piao and Ku Feng. However, despite his legendary status, Alexander Fu Sheng seems lost and miscast as if he wandered into a Chu Yuan movie by mistake when he should have been reporting on a Chang Cheuh set. Despite this setback, I highly recommend this entertaining movie which kept me from going to the toilet for its entire length. |
