Cheng Pei-Pei and Kao Yuen unravel a deadly mystery in this wuxia spectacle from Lo Wei... The worst thing about The Golden Sword is its title. It feels like the name of a less memorable film. So much so, I sometimes confuse it with more mediocre faire from the era. The name also does little

The worst thing about The Golden Sword is its title. It feels like the name of a less memorable film. So much so, I sometimes confuse it with more mediocre faire [sic] from the era. The name also does little to hint at all the fun in store for the viewer. Released in 1969 with Cheng Pei-pei in the starring role, The Golden Sword is Lo Wei at his most sumptuous and inventive as a director. It has everything from singing beggars to a clan of amazons in a film filled with romance and adventure, as well as the occasional moment of terror. And it is one of the best Cheng Pei-Pei performances from her time at Shaw Brothers.
