The Avenging Eagle, a 1978 Shaw Brothers film by Sun Chung, stars Ti Lung as a member of a group of criminal assassins who is betrayed by his conscience and forced to be on the run from his own squad, whom he must defeat with the help of a man he most deeply wronged (Fu Sheng). Sun Chung's camera work is much more dynamic than your usual Shaw Bros. release, and there are some artful touches throughout, elevating this rather typical revenge tragedy above the standards of, say, many of Chang Cheh's less memorable productions. Plus, Ti Lung's favored weapon is the three-section staff, and that's my favoritest weapon of all! Could have done with a more memorable set piece or two, but I was entertained. 8 years 10 months ago
