Plot: Da Wei is a local Robin Hood. He's a thief who steals from other robbers to give back to the poor. Of course, his little scheme doesn't go unnoticed and pretty quickly he has a bunch of fearsome criminals on his back, who want Wei to return what he stole from them. Wei won't back down though.

A relatively early Cheh Chang. Not sure how I missed this one before, or why this film isn't more famous, but The Wandering Swordsman deserves a bigger audience. The Robin Hood hook should make it easy to sell in the West, and the quality is definitely there. It's a film Shaw Bros fans are sure to appreciate.
With David Chiang and Lily Li in the lead you get some familiar faces, the build-up of the film is solid, the action is nice and well spread out, and the presentation has the usual Shaw Bros charm. It's not a film that is going to convince Shaw Bros detractors to change their view on the studio, but Chang fans are sure to have a blast.
