YesAsia Editorial Description

In the years following Bruce Lee's hit 1972 film Fist Of Fury, a renewed sense of pride in Chinese nationalism took hold in the culture, a phenomenon that carried over to the realm of cinema, especially in Taiwan. Directed by Bao Xu Li (who also helmed such films as Finger Of Doom and The Imposter), Heroes Of The Underground is one such film that reflected this growing upswing in ethnic and cultural pride among the Chinese. Based on a script written by legendary filmmaker King Hu (A Touch of Zen), this 1974 film stars the popular Shaw Brothers star Jing Li (from Anonymous Heroes, When The Clouds Roll By, and The Boxer From Shangtung) and is set sometime during World War II.

Here, Jing portrays a dedicated secret agent for the Chinese government who finds herself smack dab in the middle of enemy territory, as she is assigned to infiltrate the Japanese HQ located in Changsha. Will this plucky Chinese 007 be able to serve her country with pride and take down the enemy from within? Or will the Japanese expose her identity and sabotage her mission? Featuring appearances by Ling Yun (from Haunted Tales, Flower in the Rain, and We Love Millionaires), Tin Ching (from Mad Mad Mad Sword, Intrigue in Nylons, and Springtime Affairs), and Frankie Wei Wang (from Five Tough Guys, 36 Secrets of Courtship, and The Flying Guillotine, director Bao Xu Li's Heroes of the Underground is a spy film that is sure to please action fans!

Product Information

導演:鮑學禮
Director: Pao Haueh Li

此為1974年的抗日英雄片,由大導演鮑學禮執導,並由國際名導胡金銓編劇。故事描述丁一山(凌雲飾)在淪陷區內神出鬼沒,給予日軍沉重打擊,日軍除派大批兵力搜捕他,更懸賞通緝。怎料丁卻喬裝古玩舖掌櫃,潛入日軍控制的某鎮,擬取得兵力分佈圖。與此同時,王玲(井莉飾)已潛入偽軍司令部,與丁內外夾攻……

Besides martial arts, Bruce Lee's contribution to Chinese society was instilling a strong sense of nationalism. After his death, anti-Japanese films found new breathe especially in Taiwan. Based on King Hu's script, Heroes of The Underground tapped into Lee's nationalistic fervor and the Confucian ethic of country above family and starred the popular Ching Li as a World War II, Chinese secret agent planted into the Japanese Headquarters at Changsha. Tears flow in the name of country pride.

Exciting and entertaining! Customer Review Rated Bad 8 - 8 out of 10
This movie is better than expected with good performances all round from the leads especially Frankie Wei Hung who is a smart bad guy. Ling Yun shines in the title role as Ting Ye San and you will marvel at Ching Li performing a Japanese dance to seduce the soldiers and make them drunk. The child actor who plays Ling Yun's son is outstanding and the scenes in which he sacrifices his life for his country is particularly memorable. I found the movie exciting since I could not predict the ending and indeed, it was full of suspense.
