　　1975年張徹導演與倪匡合力編劇，描寫有關意大利探險家馬哥波羅東方遊記的賣座電影。故事描述，元世祖召見馬哥波羅時遭刺殺，幸得蒙古高手護駕；馬哥判斷餘黨必在揚州，遂被任命為總督，率兵滅逆者；惟馬哥抵揚州後，有感於漢人抗異族的決心，遂將蒙古軍來攻之事暗告反元志士。

　　When Shaw Studio decided to produce an epic about the famous Italian explorer Marco Polo and his meeting with Mongolian emperor Kublai Khan, they turned to respected director Chang Cheh, who surrounded famed Caucasian actor Richard Harrison (as Marco Polo) with the best of the Shaw Brothers kung-fu film units had to offer – including future lead “Venom” Kuo Chue, “Master Killer” Gordon Liu Chia-hui, and “Thundering Mantis” Liang Chia-jen. The result is a splendid historical tale as well as a superlative martial arts thriller.
