Come Drink with Me (1966)
(Da zui xia)
Country: HK
Technical: col/2.35:1 95m
Director: King Hu
Cast: Pei-Pei Cheng, Hua Yueh, Chih-Ching Yang, Hung-Lieh Chen
Synopsis:
A government agent arrests a bandit, after the gang kidnaps her brother. They counter-attack, but she is aided by a drunken beggar, who is the incognito pupil of a kung-fu master.
Review:
Some impressive sets, including an inn which no doubt inspired Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon, and a superb temple precinct, distinguish this celebrated Shaw brothers kung-fu classic. However, the fight scenes, though at times suitably gutsy, are riddled with continuity lapses in the editing, and the bandit's lair is too patently a studio set bearing no relation to the various story locations. In short this is a colourful relic of a celebrated brand, with little more of interest than the various lines of influence leading to Kill Bill.
