Title: Rendezvous with Death

Release Date: 17 Oct 1980

Runtime: 1h 38m

Genre: Action

Director: Shaw Brothers

Production Companies: Shaw Brothers

Overview: Sun Chung had been recognized as an expert comedy and crime thriller director, but he was to gain even greater acclaim for his soulful, powerful, intelligent, and beautifully-made martial arts epics. This stands alongside The Deadly Breaking Sword and The Kung-fu Instructor as one of his very best. It’s not so much the plot – a master swordsman protects a treasure chest on a dangerous journey – that makes this great, but what Sun does with it, inspiring the cast and crew to some of their finest work.
