Last Hurrah for Chivalry

Before launching to international fame with The Killer and Hard Boiled, John Woo proved his mastery of action direction with Last Hurrah For Chivalry. Loaded with brilliantly choreographed action sequences that would become Woo's trademark, this sword fighting saga of honor and loyalty is "a near flawless pic" (Kung Fu Cinema). Two master swordsmen agree to help a desperate man avenge his family's murder, only to discover that they may be pawns in a larger, more treacherous plot. The twisting story, fascinating characters, and sensational battle scenes combine to make this film an essential martial arts classic.
