With The Blade (1995), he returns to the original 'macho cinema' of the late sixties, pioneered by director Chang Cheh and lead Jimmy Wang Yu. This work came in the most successful period of Hark's career during the early to mid nineties.

The original Chang Cheh film had decimated the Hong Kong box office, being the first film ever to break HK $1m, spawning two sequels and catapulting Jimmy Wang Yu into kung fu legend status. Tsui cast Chiu Man-Cheuk as the lead, reprising the role of the One Armed Swordsman. Chiu Man-Cheuk was a sensible choice for the lead. He had recently .. |
