Review of Death Duel

Death Duel (1977)
5/10
It's so bad that it's good
24 February 2022
Warning: Spoilers
Illogical dialogues and motives all over the place. No, the fighting scenes didn't make up for those, but they needn't to, because the ridiculous elements (e.g. The protagonist questioning his assassin who else ordered them to assassinate himself even after the assassin already revealed a name - "Who ordered you to kill me?" "XYZ!" "Who else?"; the female lead telling the protagonist she would wait for him in the sea even after the protagonist told her that he needed to find a healer who lives near a lake... and many more) in the movie made it very entertaining. This is director Chor Yuan's weaker output among his Shaw Brothers Wuxia efforts. Nevertheless, I hesitated to give it a below average (<5) score because it's just so bad that it is memorable! An unforgettably lousy movie!
