Sword Master (2016) (Blu-ray) (Hong Kong Version)

Product Description

Before he became one of Hong Kongs best directors, Derek Yee began his career as a Shaw Brothers star, shooting to fame at the age of 19 through the 1977 swordplay film Death Duel, based on Gu Longs novel Sword of the Third Young Master. Nearly four decades later, Yee brings a new adaptation of the wuxia tale, this time as director. To reinvent the period action epic with 3D technology, Yee enlisted the expertise of Tsui Hark who co-wrote & produced Sword Master, while Yuen Bun & Dion Lam handled the action choreography.

Lin Gengxin ( The Taking of Tiger Mountain) steps into the role that Yee once played, Third Master, the greatest swordsman in the l&. Tired of a life of bloodshed, he retires from the martial arts world, & takes on a servant position at a brothel. Meanwhile, top swordsman Yan (Peter Ho, The Monkey King), whose days are numbered by illness, seeks a duel with Third Master to prove himself at all costs, only to be informed the fake news of Third Masters death. Third Masters vengeful jilted lover Murong Qiudi (Jiang Yiyan, The Four) also unleashes a bloodbath in order to force Third Master to take up his sword again.
