YesAsia Editorial Description

What happens when an evil swordswoman tries to turn a family against each other? That's the intriguing premise that kicks off The Jade Faced Assassin, a 1970 Shaw Brothers production from actor turned director Yan Jun. In this film full of intrigue and exciting martial arts, Essie Lin Chia makes a scene stealing appearance as a diabolical woman warrior who plots a wicked game of vengeance. It seems she holds a grudge against a swordsman that wronged her years ago, and she'll do just about anything to get her revenge. In this case, anything means splitting up the man's twin children. But that's only the half of it. While she raises the man's son, she secretly places the boy's sister in the care of her sworn enemy, a move that practically ensures that brother and sister will be pitted against one another in a fight to the death, without even knowing their true origins! Featuring Pan Ying Zhi and Cheung Pui-Shan, the film stars Lily Ho (from The Silver Fox and A Time for Love) and Gao Yuan (from Raw Passions) star in this thrilling tale of family broken apart, joining up once more after appearing in The Golden Knight together, a film also released by the Shaw Brothers. Will the two siblings end up killing each other and fulfilling the villainess' horrible plot Or will they discover their true heritage before it's too late? Find out the truth in The Jade Faced Assassin, an exciting martial arts adventure from director Yan Jun!

導演: 嚴俊
Director: Yen Chuan

  一段相隔兩代的武林悲劇,恩情、愛情難解難分,在嚴俊執導下拍出陣陣悲意。大俠章臻(高遠飾)被勞山四怪所殺。大師姐設下毒計,讓章臻好友嵐煙(谷峰飾)抱走女嬰,她則抱走男嬰,訓練他找嵐煙報仇仇,好讓他們兄妹傷殘。豈料,嵐煙手抱女嬰,被惡人谷搶走,十八年後,雙胞胎兄妹重聚,抓起江湖風雨武林悲劇。何莉莉演天下惡人之首蕭鹿兒,正中有邪,剛中帶柔,高遠的大俠華春玉扮相俊朗,二人堪稱金童玉女最佳配搭。

  Famed actor/director Yen Chuan hemmed this martial arts melodrama of a lady-warrior who raises the son of the swordsman who scorned her, but arranges to have his sister raised by her sworn enemy, hoping to make the unknowing twins kill each other in a death duel. Essie Lin Chia is the evil lady-warrior while Lily Ho and Kao Yuen reunite after starring together in The Golden Knight for this suspense thriller of familial love gone wrong.

Who is the assassin? Customer Review Rated Bad 6 - 6 out of 10
This movie is disappointing as after I viewed it, I still do not know who the jade-faced assassin is. I can guess but he is not central to the plot. The original title is better...... And The Twain Shall Meet.

I bought this dvd for Lily Ho but it is Essie Lin Chia who shines in her 3 scenes at the beginning and end of the movie. Billed simply as a guest star, Essie blows away the competition and that includes Lily Hio I'm afraid.

Pan Ying Tze makes her 1st appearance in the movie dressed as a man and fighting off some men with a sword. It is really strange that later on, she is dressed as a gentle lady and does not know any swordplay or kungfu anymore.

It is obvious then that this was a troubled production that was shelved for some time before it was eventually completed and released. There is no continuity in the main plot and the focus is not there, We are led astray by subplots
until the final fight scene and Essie appears to tie up loose ends again. But the time in between is boring that even the gorgeous Lily Ho cannot save.

I do not regret buying this dvd and will recommend it to fans of Lily Ho, Essie Lin Chia and Kao Yuan.
