Title: The Bells Of Death 奪魂鈴 Year: 1968 Director: Yueh Fung 岳楓 Casts: Chin Ping 秦萍, Chang I 張翼, Wu Ma 午馬, Ku Feng 谷峰 The swordsman genre well under way, even directors like the established Yueh Feng, who had directed romance stories since 1938, gave it a spin. The Bells Of Death, a whirlwind story about a man who embarks on a life long journey to learn the sword then find and eliminate the three men who killed his family and abducted his sister, features an appearance of relatively new Shaw Brothers' faces hoping to make the grade and become the next Jimmy Wang Yu, David Chiang or Ti Lung. Amidst fountains of blood and guts, actor Wu Ma rang true as his bells of glory eventually tolled. He went on to star in 180 movies (including several with Jackie Chan and Jet Li) and become one of Hong Kong's premiere, new wave, ghost story film directors.
